Patient's question:
What are the causes of sexual dysfunction, and how should it be treated? Sexual dysfunction refers to a condition where, during sexual activity, a man who was initially erect becomes soft after his underwear is removed, starts to have a rapid heartbeat after touching himself for a few moments, and then ejaculates. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour before he becomes hard again, and while sexual intercourse is normal, the hardness is not as good as it used to be. I have had sexual intercourse before and frequently masturbate. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor told me I had sexual dysfunction and prescribed some medication for me. I have been taking the medication as prescribed, but the results seem to be not very effective.Doctor's answer:
The causes of erectile dysfunction can be categorized as primary or secondary. Primary ED is often associated with psychological factors, biological factors, and the like. Secondary ED is commonly caused by vascular disorders, hormonal disorders, medication use, neurological conditions, and more. It is often accompanied by a history of medication use, smoking, alcohol consumption, prostatic diseases, and masturbation. The clinical manifestations are typically characterized by the ability to achieve and maintain an erection in the past but no longer being able to do so or finding it difficult to achieve an erection. It is recommended that you pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia during masturbation, sexual activity, and daily life. Masturbation or sexual activity should be regular, and you can consider using traditional Chinese medicine such as oolong tea or rhino horn to supplement your health.
