Patient's question:
How to treat male hyposexuality???Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is important to be targeted in the treatment of male hypoactive sexual desire. After the age of 50, as men age, the secretion of androgens in their bodies gradually decreases, and the quality of sexual life is slightly inferior to that in their youth, but individual differences are significant, and treatment is not necessary.If the cause is functional disorders, the history should be taken from the outset, and the doctor's attitude should be kind, empathetic, and caring, making the patient willing to share their actual situation and cooperate actively to receive proper treatment. Mental and psychological therapy should primarily focus on sexual counseling and guidance. The focus of treatment is to improve the sexual relationship between couples and to coordinate sexual activities, rather than labeling one party as "ill" and the other as "normal," to ensure a solid emotional foundation for mental and psychological therapy. If certain environmental factors (such as children living in the same room) hinder smooth sexual activity, it is inevitable that sexual desire will decrease, and these issues should be addressed as much as possible. Additionally, patients can be guided to adopt sensate focus training (a method of touch initiated by one partner after sexual arousal), starting with the clear understanding that sexual arousal and intercourse should not be the goals. Progress should be gradual, and after a period, patients should be encouraged to engage in sexual activity when they are in a pleasant state of mind. Special attention should be paid to verbal and non-verbal communication, recalling the pleasures of past sexual experiences, to strengthen the sense of sexual autonomy, boost confidence, and often, after one or two successful sexual encounters, the condition of hypoactive or absent sexual desire can improve significantly.
If the hypoactive sexual desire is caused by organic factors or medication, corresponding treatments should be adopted based on the condition, and medications affecting sexual function should be stopped.
Additionally, short-term male hormone therapy can be administered, such as oral methyltestosterone.
