Patient's question:
I used to have a very good sex life with my girlfriend. Later, I might have experienced anxiety and pressure due to many things in life. Then, during one sexual encounter, I didn't get a strong erection. From then on, it seemed like I had a shadow in my mind, worrying if I had developed sexual dysfunction. In subsequent sexual encounters, my performance was inconsistent—sometimes I had morning erections, but during sex, my erections weren't always strong. Could you tell me if this psychological-induced sexual dysfunction can be completely restored? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Psychological reasons necessitate further psychological counseling to re-adjust and maintain a stable mental state, eliminating anxiety, tension, and depressive emotions. Immediate family members should be involved, and motivation is also required. It is recommended that you seek psychological counseling and supplementary support from a psychologist to re-adjust your psychological shadows and resolve your current mental distress. Don’t delay—this is a matter for the latter half of your life. Male diseases tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
