Patient's question:
Started smoking since I was in school. Back then, I thought smoking was quite stylish and made me feel cool. Now, I can't quit, but I'm a bit worried about my sex life. Does smoking really have a significant impact on sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Smoking can have a significant impact on sexual function. Long-term smoking can lead to issues such as premature ejaculation, poor sperm survival rate, density, and vitality. It is recommended to smoke less frequently and control the habit to ensure a healthy sexual life. Avoid excessive frequency and adjust your routine and diet accordingly. In terms of diet, consuming more foods that support kidney health and yang enhancement can be helpful in reducing sexual issues. Male diseases can be alleviated, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment and use medications appropriately.
