What are the treatment methods for sexual dysfunction?

First of all, it must be made clear that there is no universal "magic prescription" for sexual dysfunction. The core principle is to first distinguish whether the inducement is organic or psychological, and then coordinate adjustments from multiple dimensions of physiology, psychology, and lifestyle. Blind use of folk remedies and random supplements of aphrodisiacs may aggravate the problem.

I have come into contact with too many patients who have taken detours. The one that impressed me the most was a 32-year-old Internet back-end developer. He had high blood sugar during physical examinations for two consecutive years and did not take it seriously. After he developed erection problems, he first labeled himself as having "kidney deficiency." Before having sex, I was so nervous that my palms were sweating, and my condition was getting worse and worse. Later, when I went to the men's department for a checkup, I found out that the long-term hyperglycemia had damaged the cavernous blood vessels, which was an organic form of ED. Later, I adjusted my hypoglycemic plan, walked briskly for 40 minutes after get off work every day, and took the PDE5 inhibitor prescribed by the doctor as needed. In less than 3 months, I was basically back to normal.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the controversy over "whether food supplements are useful or not" that is very hot on the Internet. One group thinks that leeks and lamb kidneys "complement the shape" and will be effective if eaten, while the other group thinks that these are IQ taxes. In fact, from a clinical nutrition perspective, the so-called "aphrodisiac ingredients" in these ingredients are extremely low in content. To reach the effective dose, you would have to eat more than ten kilograms of sheep kidneys a day. On the contrary, excessive purine intake may easily induce gout. However, many users have reported that eating these ingredients After eating the food, I felt that I had "replenished it" psychologically, my anxiety was reduced, and my condition had indeed improved. To put it bluntly, it was more of a placebo effect. If I really want to supplement relevant nutrients, it is better to eat more oysters and nuts rich in zinc and arginine every day. It is cost-effective and not burdensome.

In addition to physiological adjustments, what many people tend to overlook is the impact on emotions and intimate relationships. There was a 28-year-old female patient who said that she had been sexually apathetic after giving birth and took a lot of qi and blood supplements to no avail. Later, after talking, I found out that her husband always complained about her "attention" after giving birth. It's all about the children." The two had been in a cold war for more than half a year. When they were in the same room, she always felt that her husband was just trying to complete a task and was not interested at all. Later, the two of them had three couples consultations together, and they talked about all the grievances and conflicts that had been accumulated for a long time. Without taking any medicine, the intimacy between the two slowly returned. In fact, the body's sexual response is like a faucet at home. If you resist and don't want to turn it on, no matter how full the water is in the pipe, it won't flow out.

Of course, this does not mean that all problems can be solved by adjusting lifestyles and psychological counseling. If it is indeed found that there are organic problems, such as low testosterone levels, rapid ejaculation caused by prostatitis, or side effects caused by long-term use of antihypertensive drugs and antidepressants, you should follow the doctor's advice. Just take the medicine. Don't insist on thinking that "taking medicine will lose face", and don't buy the three-no health care products on the market that are called "quick-acting aphrodisiacs". Many illegally add large doses of western medicine ingredients. Taking them once in a while may be effective, but taking them for a long time will increase the burden on the body and even induce cardiovascular problems.

In fact, there is no standard answer to the matter of conditioning. The methods that others use that work well may not work for you. It is much more important to figure out where your own problem lies first than to blindly follow the trend and try folk remedies.
