Patient's question:
Six months ago, I was quite busy, working overtime every day, and didn't even have time for intimacy with my wife. It wasn't until two months ago when the project was completed that I wanted to be romantic with my wife again. But unexpectedly, I couldn't get hard at all. My wife comforted me, saying it might be because I was too tired and that resting would be fine. But now, two months have passed, and I haven't recovered yet. I'm worried I might have erectile dysfunction.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Neurogenic Erectile Dysfunction: Damage to the parasympathetic or somatic nerves originating from the sacral cord can cause partial or complete erectile dysfunction. Additionally, certain diseases leading to neurological conditions can also result in erectile dysfunction, such as diabetes, chronic alcoholism. It is recommended to seek Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment. TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation has a very good therapeutic effect. Avoid excessive exercise and a diet high in foods, maintain a regular lifestyle, and keep emotions stable. For severe cases, it is advised to seek treatment at a local reputable tertiary hospital.
