Patient's question:
It's been about three months, I feel like my sexual function has declined. I've been to the hospital and have been taking medication ever since, but there's still no improvement.Doctor's answer:
1. First, check if there are any dissatisfaction with work and life, or excessive fatigue, and regulate your own state.2. If it still doesn’t work, go to the hospital for a systematic physical examination, as some internal medicine conditions, such as blood pressure, blood lipid, or blood sugar issues, can lead to decreased sexual function.
3. If there are no problems, visit a urology clinic to determine if there are any urological issues. If there are, receive targeted treatment.
4. If there are still no issues, don’t force yourself. Rest well, or you can go out for a walk and try abstaining from sex for a month to see if you feel better.
5. If there are some conflicts with your partner, you can consult a doctor together or explain the situation to the doctor to discuss how to handle it. It’s important to strengthen communication. Many older couples also need to frequently ask each other how they feel. Sex is a two-person matter and requires coordination. It’s normal to have occasional problems, so don’t overthink it.
