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 the child is only 3 years old. What should I do? Is 30-40 the period when women's libido is the strongest? Will it get 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 the inability to maintain a sufficient erection for sexual intercourse, thereby hindering or preventing sexual activity. 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 a habit or sexual intercourse is too frequent, the erection center may remain in a state of tension for a long time, eventually leading to impotence. Abnormalities in the penis erection center can also cause impotence. Severe diseases in important organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart, or lungs, especially if they persist for a long time, may affect the psychological control of sexual physiology. Conditions such as pituitary disorders, testicular damage or removal due to disease, adrenal insufficiency, or diabetes can also 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, although these cases are less common in clinical practice. It is best to visit a specialized urological hospital for examination and diagnosis. After the experts conduct a comprehensive analysis and confirm the diagnosis, targeted treatment can be administered.
