Patient's question:
A 40-year-old man is in good health and has normal intelligence. He is unmarried due to a lack of libido.Doctor's answer:
The causes of sexual apathy are often not singular, so treatment requires different approaches based on the specific causes. Sexual apathy lacks objective symptoms, primarily relying on patient self-reporting. It only shows effectiveness when patients genuinely seek treatment; otherwise, it may have the opposite effect. Treatment mainly involves psychological therapy and medication. Psychological therapy methods include alleviating fear, overcoming biases about sex life, improving marital relationships, and other aspects. Medication treatment primarily involves sex hormone drugs and antidepressants. For cases caused by organic diseases, corresponding medications should be chosen based on the underlying condition.
