Patient's question:
I used to have the habit of masturbation, and now I often travel to various places for work, spending very little time with my girlfriend. Sometimes when I am with her, I lose interest in sex, which led her to say I was frigid and eventually we broke up. I started to doubt whether I have a sexual dysfunction.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many causes of sexual dysfunction, which can be classified as functional or organic. Functional sexual dysfunction accounts for the majority, characterized by disturbances in cortical brain function. It is usually caused by abnormal sexual habits (such as masturbation, excessive sexual intercourse) and abnormal mental states (fear, tension, fatigue). Organic sexual dysfunction is less common and is often due to spinal cord injuries that disrupt the function of the erectile and ejaculation centers.
