Patient's question:
I'm just 30 years old, but my husband doesn't have sexual function anymore. Sometimes I feel really upset. I've also thought about divorce, but our child is only 3 years old. What should I do? Is 30-40 the period when women's libido is the strongest? Will it be better after this time? Sometimes I really want to have sex with a man. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
His condition may be related to sexual dysfunction, such as impotence. Impotence refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection during sexual arousal, or having an erection with some degree of hardness but not lasting long enough for sexual intercourse, thereby hindering or preventing intercourse. There are many causes of impotence. One is psychological factors, such as emotional indifference between partners, age, or stress due to certain reasons, which can lead to impotence. If masturbation becomes habitual or sexual intercourse occurs too frequently, the erection center may remain in a state of tension over time, eventually resulting in impotence. Abnormalities in the erection center of the penis can also cause impotence. Severe diseases in important organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart, or lungs, especially when chronic, may affect the psychological control of sexual physiology. Conditions like pituitary disorders, testicular damage or removal due to disease, adrenal insufficiency, or diabetes can all lead to impotence. Others may develop impotence due to excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged exposure to radiation, excessive use of sleeping pills, antitumor drugs, or anesthetics, though these are less common in clinical cases. It is best to consult a specialized urological hospital for examination and diagnosis. After the experts conduct a comprehensive analysis and confirm the diagnosis, targeted treatment can be administered.
