Patient's question:
Our relationship was very unpleasant!!!!!!Doctor's answer:
Hello: Treatment Methods:(1) Western Medicine Treatment: The cause of sexual apathy is often not singular, so treatment requires different approaches based on the specific cause. Sexual apathy lacks objective symptoms and primarily relies on patient self-reporting. It only shows effectiveness when the patient genuinely requests treatment; otherwise, it may have the opposite effect.
Western medicine treatment mainly includes psychological therapy and medication. Psychological therapy methods include eliminating fear, overcoming biases about sex life, improving marital relationships, and other aspects. Medication treatment primarily involves sex hormone drugs and antidepressants. For organic diseases, corresponding medications should be selected based on the underlying condition.
