Patient's question:
Long-term prostatitis-induced sexual dysfunction, after the combination treatment of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, can the return of morning erections prove that sexual function is normal if it happens once or many times? Thank you very much for your assistance.Doctor's answer:
Based on your current situation described, it is not advisable to solely rely on morning erections to assess your current sexual function. Currently, it is recommended that you use sexual satisfaction during the treatment period to estimate the full recovery of your sexual function. Morning erections alone cannot fully evaluate the specifics of your current sexual function. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor during treatment, take medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene.
