Is sexual dysfunction treatment good for women after half a year?

There is really no unified standard answer to this question. Some people returned to normal in two months, while others only experienced slight improvement after more than half a year. The core depends on the cause of the disease, the accuracy of the intervention, and whether there is adequate cooperation.

I once met a 32-year-old mother of her second child in a gender health science community. She had no desire after giving birth to her second child, and she still had a vague pain during intercourse. She was too shy to go to the hospital for almost a year, and she always felt that this was how she should be after giving birth. Later, I really felt that it was affecting the relationship between the couple, so I went to the gynecology department. It was found that the pelvic floor muscles were hypertonic and the level of estrogen was low during lactation. In addition, I took care of the baby until early in the morning every day. I was so tired that I fell asleep in bed and had no time to think about anything else. Later, she did pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation twice a week as the doctor told her. She followed the relaxation exercises at home, took hormone supplements for two months, and took her husband for three couples' sex consultations. Later, her husband also took the initiative to share the work of making milk and putting her to sleep in the middle of the night. When she was almost 5 months old, she said she was completely back to the state before giving birth. Problems caused by short-term inducements like this have really improved a lot within half a year.

Of course, not everyone is so smooth. I also met a 28-year-old girl who had a severe fear disorder from the first time she had sex. This was traced back to the domestic violence she witnessed from her parents when she was a child. She also encountered sexual harassment in public places during adolescence, which left a deep psychological shadow. This kind of situation involves deep psychological trauma. The psychological counseling in the first three months was still slowly opening up. After half a year, I could barely accept the intimate touch of my partner. To fully restore the normal sexual experience, a longer intervention period will definitely be needed.

Nowadays, it is generally believed in clinical practice that if it is a simple sexual dysfunction caused by hormone fluctuations, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, short-term work and life pressure, or poor communication between partners, as long as the right direction and standardized intervention are found, more than 80% of people can be significantly improved within half a year, and even fully meet the standards of clinical cure.； However, some scholars who study sexual psychology have pointed out that if it is combined with severe nerve damage, long-term chronic diseases (such as severe diabetes affecting the peripheral nerves, autoimmune diseases affecting the reproductive system), or years of sexual psychological trauma, or long-term tensions in the partnership, half a year is often only the initial stage of intervention, and "complete improvement" cannot be forced. It is considered effective if symptoms are improved.

In fact, this treatment is similar to the treatment of allergic rhinitis. If you just have an acute attack caused by a cold, you can get better after taking medicine for a few weeks. If you have allergies and chronic rhinitis all year round, it is normal to treat it for one or two years. Don't set a deadline of half a year for yourself. Instead, anxiety will put a psychological burden on yourself and slow down the speed of recovery. If you really find that you have problems in this area, don't buy the "three-no" "conditioning products" on the Internet and use them blindly. Go to the gynecology or gender specialist of a regular hospital to find out the cause first, which is better than anything else.
