Sexual dysfunction is a physical problem or a psychological problem

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Is sexual dysfunction a physical problem or a psychological problem?

Doctor's answer:

Many people believe that psychological factors are the main cause of ED, but the current understanding is that for most men, ED is related to many diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, high blood lipids), medications, trauma, and surgeries. It is widely known that sexual dysfunction can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding stimulating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
