Patient's question:
Six months ago, I was quite busy, working overtime every day, and didn't even have time to have intimate moments with my wife. It wasn't until two months ago when the project was completed that I wanted to be romantic with my wife again. But unexpectedly, I couldn't get hard at all. My wife comforted me, saying it might be because I was too tired and that I would be fine after resting. But now, two months have passed, and I haven't recovered yet. I'm worried that I might have erectile dysfunction.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Neurogenic Erectile Dysfunction: Damage to the parasympathetic or somatic nerves originating from the sacral cord can cause partial or complete erectile dysfunction. Additionally, certain diseases that lead to neurological conditions can also cause erectile dysfunction, such as diabetes and chronic alcoholism. It is recommended to seek Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment. TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation has a very good therapeutic effect. Avoid excessive exercise and reduce the intake of stimulating foods. Maintain a regular lifestyle and stable emotions. For severe cases, it is advised to seek treatment at a local reputable tertiary hospital.
