Patient's question:
I used to have the habit of masturbation, and now I often travel to different places for work, spending very little time with my girlfriend. Sometimes when I am with her, I lose interest in sex, which led her to say I am frigid and eventually break up with me. I started to doubt whether I have a sexual dysfunction.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many causes of sexual dysfunction, which can be classified as functional or organic. Most cases of functional sexual dysfunction are characterized by disturbances in cortical brain function and are typically caused by abnormal sexual habits (such as masturbation, excessive sexual intercourse) and abnormal mental states (fear, tension, fatigue). Organic sexual dysfunction is less common and is often due to spinal cord injuries that disrupt the function of the erectile and ejaculation centers.
