Sexual dysfunctionDoctor's answer:
For the treatment of erectile dysfunction, PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil are the first-line medications. For premature ejaculation, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can be chosen. Oral levodopa and ephedrine, among others, have a promoting effect on ejaculation. Tricyclic antidepressants are the first-line drugs for treating sexual phobia and depression. Estrogen replacement therapy can increase clitoral sensitivity and sexual desire, as well as alleviate sexual intercourse pain. For individuals with anxiety or depression and other psychological conditions, corresponding medications should be administered.
