Patient's question:
I've been having trouble getting hard with my wife recently. After a thorough check, I realized it's a sexual dysfunction. I'd like to ask, what are the causes of sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Male sexual dysfunction may be caused by various factors such as intergenerational inheritance, health conditions, hormone levels, age, and diseases (including chronic diseases, neuro-psychiatric disorders, endocrine diseases, and inflammation of the reproductive organs). It may also be attributed to elevated hormone levels, impaired blood flow to the corpora cavernosa, or increased sensitivity of the glans penis. Drug use, long-term or excessive substance abuse, can also lead to sexual dysfunction. Psychological and mental factors can significantly interfere with sexual function, including incorrect sexual beliefs, interference from past sexual experiences, environmental factors, and interpersonal conflicts. Professional urological examination is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment method, such as drug intervention, based on technical expertise or Doppler flow assessment of the corpora cavernosa.
