Patient's question:
Age and condition description: Currently suffering from a lack of sexual desire for over 2 years. In January and February, the female partner also experienced erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. In February of this year, I visited the Urology Department of the Second Hospital of the People's Armed Police and had some test results that were normal but slightly low. I forgot what medication was used, and I also consulted a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.History of treatment and effectiveness: The condition has not improved and has worsened with treatment.
What kind of help do you want: I am 52 years old this year. Can it still be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Before treatment begins, it should be as possible as possible to help the patient understand their condition and formulate appropriate treatment measures according to the relevant causes. If low libido is related to environmental or family factors, the problem should be pointed out to the patient, and suitable solutions should be proposed. For those with obvious abnormal experiences during childhood or adolescence, psychoanalytic therapy can be tried, and in traditional Chinese medicine, ginseng can be used to heal.A harmonious, mutually understanding, and respectful marital relationship with full communication is a necessary condition for improving low libido. Improving the sexual relationship between couples should be the focus of treatment. The treatment plan should be tailored to specific situations and needs, and before formulating the plan, the types of sexual behavior should be pre-determined for the couple.
There are three types of thoughts that mutually influence and may harm the sexual relationship between couples:
The first thought is that sexual satisfaction and pleasure depend on initial sexual interest. This idea confuses sexual contact and sexual arousal. If there is a temporary lack of interest in sexual activity due to some objective reasons, it may lead to the belief that one cannot participate in sexual activity later.
The second thought is that sexual activity will always lead to intercourse and orgasm.
The third thought is that habitual and stereotypical sexual behavior cannot be changed.
