Patient's question:
I felt some constipation last month, and later I started experiencing nausea and vomiting. Every time I used the restroom, I felt pain in the two parts of my anus. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had esophagitis and told me to treat it properly. I would like to consult on how esophagitis affects sexual function.Doctor's answer:
Gastritis generally tends to cause symptoms such as stomach pain or indigestion, and it will never affect sexual function. However, if there is inflammation in this area, long-term oral intake of anti-inflammatory drugs or medications for stomach conditions can also impact sexual function, and it is necessary to pay attention to whether certain medications are being taken. Additionally, discomfort in the anal area is related to nausea and vomiting. If the frequency of bowel movements is particularly high, it can lead to pain in the anal area or localized infections.
