Patient's question:
I used to always hate sex, but recently I've found that my sex drive has returned, though I don't know how. If this phenomenon reappears, what kind of medicine would be good to take?Doctor's answer:
Impaired sexual function and sexual dysfunction can be caused by many functional and organic factors. Functional sexual dysfunction accounts for the majority of manifestations of cerebral cortex dysfunction, typically resulting from abnormal sexual habits (e.g., sexual intercourse, excessive sexual activity). It is also associated with abnormal mental states (e.g., fear, tension, fatigue). Organic sexual dysfunction is rarely the result of spinal cord injuries leading to dysfunction in the erectile and ejaculation centers, or chronic inflammation such as urethritis, prostatitis, or epididymitis. Additionally, it may be caused by neuroendocrine diseases and penile inflammation. It is recommended that patients take Guiyou Pills and Shenling Bai Zhu San to implement kidney-tonifying and spleen-strengthening treatment. Please seek treatment at the hospital's traditional Chinese medicine department.
