How is diabetic-induced sexual dysfunction treated?

Patient's question:

Dr. Zhang! My husband is 43 years old and has inherited diabetes. He has been using insulin for two years. Due to high blood sugar, he has experienced a decline in sexual function, which has caused him significant emotional distress. I would like to ask you if this condition can be treated, and how it should be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Common causes include: lack of sexual knowledge, psychological reservations or mental disorders, as well as organic inflammation such as excessive sensitivity of the glans nerve, phimosis, urethritis, epididymitis, short frenulum of the prepuce, chronic prostatitis, etc. Sexual dysfunction is not directly related to anesthesia insulin. Generally, it can be improved through psychological counseling, changing sexual practices, diverting attention, and quitting bad habits such as sexual intercourse. It can also be treated with Yang-tonifying and Kidney-tonifying therapies, such as oral consumption of Wuzi Yanzong Wan. The condition of male diseases is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication.
