    There is really no unified standard answer. I have been in the clinic for almost 10 years, and I have seen patients with the mildest form of psychological erectile dysfunction. After adjusting their daily routine and 3 times of psychological counseling, they returned to normal in less than 3 weeks. There are also elderly patients with diabetes and peripheral nerve damage who had to adjust their sexual intercourse intermittently for more than 2 years to achieve satisfactory sexual intercourse quality. They also had to maintain long-term blood sugar control.

    Don't believe the "7-day cure" and "1-month cure" gimmicks on the Internet, and don't feel that you will never get better as soon as you find out the problem. This matter is really closely tied to personal circumstances and cannot be generalized. A while ago, I received a consultation from a 28-year-old Internet programmer who worked on a project until two or three o'clock every day for three consecutive months. After the first problem occurred, he was scared to death. The plan given to him was also simple. First, he was forced to adjust his schedule to go to bed before 12 o'clock. He ran 3 kilometers three days a week to sweat. Before having sex, he didn't always give himself psychological hints of "Is it going to work this time?". He also took short-acting erection aids for a week to build up his confidence. After 27 days, he came back for a follow-up consultation. He said that he could complete it successfully without any assistance at all. There was no recurrence after three months of follow-up.

    But if you have organic damage or chronic underlying diseases, you really can’t rush it. Last month, there was a 45-year-old smoker. He had high blood pressure and had been taking antihypertensive drugs for 10 years. He drank alcohol almost every day. He was found to have insufficient blood supply from the cavernous artery and a slight venous fistula. This kind of thing cannot be solved in a few weeks. First, they cooperated with the cardiology department to adjust antihypertensive drugs for him that have less impact on erectile function. They also forced him to stop smoking, drink low-alcohol alcohol occasionally, and follow the video to do pelvic floor muscle training for 15 minutes every day. In the first three months, he could only say that there was a significant improvement. He could get an erection, but the hardness was still not satisfactory. It was not until the seventh month that he came to report the good news, saying that he could finally have sex smoothly. Now he has maintained a healthy living habit, and he is afraid that he will go back to indulgence.

    Nowadays, many people on the Internet are arguing about whether Chinese medicine is faster in conditioning or Western medicine. In fact, there is really no need to criticize each other. I have seen people who took Chinese medicine for more than half a year but did not feel better, and then switched to Western medicine for standard treatment and saw significant improvement in one month. I have also seen people who were evaluated by Western medicine as needing surgery and who slowly recovered after being treated by a doctor at a regular public Chinese medicine hospital for 3 months. What is suitable for you is the fastest. The most taboo thing is to seek medical treatment in a hurry and buy "ancestral aphrodisiacs" and "secret kidney-tonifying pills" online. Most of these products are illegally added with large doses of sildenafil analogues. Taking one dose may have a strong effect, but in fact it is an overdraft function in advance. The more you take, the more difficult it will be to make subsequent adjustments, which will slow down the recovery speed.

    To put it bluntly, the treatment of sexual dysfunction is similar to treating a wound. If it is just a small cut on the skin, it will heal after two or three days of disinfection. If you are a diabetic and develop bedsores, it will naturally take several times the time to take care of it and it is easy to relapse. If there is a real problem, don't carry it around or speculate about it. Go to a regular hospital to find out whether it is psychological or organic. Follow the doctor's instructions and implement the plan. You will recover faster than trying random things on your own. On the contrary, the more patients struggle with "how long will it take for me to get better" every day, the greater the psychological pressure, and the problem that is not serious will drag on for longer.
