Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I would like to ask, why do I always feel a significant decline in sexual ability after drinking alcohol? It's said that alcohol leads to reckless behavior, but why do I feel that I am not performing well after drinking? I would like to ask if this is a medical condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello:Light drinking has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, which can have an uplifting effect on some people while potentially enhancing libido. However, when alcohol consumption is excessive or leads to intoxication, the blood alcohol content reaches a level that inhibits the central nervous system. At this point, it can only suppress excitement, and in some cases, even prevent sexual activity. Therefore, the situation you described is quite normal and aligns with physiological responses—it is not a disease. In short, moderate alcohol can stimulate, while excessive alcohol can inhibit.
