Patient's question:
Hello; I usually have difficulty with libido during the day, and even less so with erections. Even at night, erections are very short-lived. I was checked and found to have prostatitis. Please; is the decrease in libido caused by prostatitis?? Thank you for the first follow-up question: How is it treated, and can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Normal male sexual function also exhibits physiological fluctuations. When sexual function is stimulated by factors such as mental and emotional instability, fatigue, poor health, or a lack of enthusiasm or opposition from the female partner in sexual activity, temporary "impotence" may occur. Overexertion during sexual activity or masturbation can lead to mental exhaustion, which is one of the causes of impotence. To effectively prevent and treat impotence, it is recommended to abstain from sexual activity for a period, avoid various types of sexual stimulation, and allow the central nervous system and sexual organs to rest sufficiently. Additionally, improving physical fitness is crucial. Weakness, excessive fatigue, insufficient sleep, and prolonged mental strain are contributing factors and should be addressed by actively engaging in physical exercise to enhance physical health, ensuring adequate rest to prevent overexertion, and balancing the function of the central nervous system.
