Sexual dysfunction treatment methods

The core logic of most sexual dysfunction treatments is First rule out organic diseases, and then make individual adjustments based on the three dimensions of physiological state, psychological state, and intimate relationship. There is no universal special effect program suitable for everyone, let alone buying "aphrodisiac/aphrodisiac" products with unknown ingredients on your own.。

Don’t believe it. I just received a 32-year-old male patient in my clinic last week. He secretly took folk kidney-tonifying remedies for more than half a year. Not only did he not get better, but he even had less morning erections. After a checkup, he found out that it was neuropathy caused by diabetes in the early stages, which affected the blood supply to the corpus cavernosum. I adjusted his blood sugar for two weeks and combined with some medicine to improve circulation. When he came back for a follow-up visit, he said he had almost recovered. Regarding what to check first, different schools of medicine actually have different ideas: Western medicine gives priority to screening for six hormones, blood sugar and blood lipids, reproductive system ultrasound, and neuroelectrophysiology. First, identify pathological problems, such as thyroid abnormalities, elevated prolactin, prostatic inflammation, and vascular sclerosis, which may cause sexual function to decline. It is fundamental to treat the primary disease first. ； Traditional Chinese medicine usually performs constitution differentiation first. Many people say they have kidney deficiency at first sight. In fact, clinical problems caused by liver stagnation and qi stagnation and dampness and heat are much higher than kidney deficiency. Taking supplements regardless of constitution will aggravate the symptoms. In fact, there is no conflict between the two. First, Western medicine is used to eliminate emergencies, and then combined with TCM syndrome differentiation to adjust the constitution, which is the most efficient solution.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the lifestyle adjustments that are most easily ignored by everyone. Don’t always think that this is “useless nonsense.” Almost 60% of the patients I have dealt with have functional problems. All the indicators are normal, but the condition is not right. For example, a few young men who work in Internet operations endured the Double 11 sales for more than 20 days in a row last year. After that, their roommate fell out of the relationship. They were so panicked that they came to register. I didn't prescribe a single pill, so I asked them to go to bed before 12 o'clock every day, run 3 kilometers three days a week, and eat more shellfish and nuts. When they came back for a follow-up visit two weeks later, they all said they were fine. There are also many drivers who work in transportation all year round. After sitting for more than ten years and holding their urine for more than ten years, their abdominal circumference is almost 100cm. It is found that the prostate is congested and the endothelium of blood vessels is slightly hardened. No matter how many supplements you take, it won't help. Stop smoking first, stand up for 5 minutes every hour after sitting, slowly reduce body fat, and the blood supply problem will naturally be alleviated. There are also different opinions here: Nutritionists recommend supplementing more nutritional supplements such as zinc and arginine, believing that they can quickly improve the function of the reproductive system. ； On the contrary, the sports medicine school believes that the effect of building muscle, reducing fat, and improving cardiopulmonary capacity is much stronger than supplements. In fact, there is no need to take sides. If you eat a balanced diet, you don’t need to take extra supplements. If you usually eat takeout, there is no harm in supplementing appropriately.

What many people don’t know is that the root cause of at least half of sexual function problems is not physical at all, but rather psychological and intimate relationships. A young couple who had been married for half a year came to see a doctor before. The man was too nervous to have sex for the first time and failed. Every time after that, the woman subconsciously frowned and asked, "Can you do it this time?" As a result, the man became more and more anxious and was frightened into erectile dysfunction. No matter how much medicine he took, it was useless. I gave the two people two psychological counseling sessions, taught them a few intimate interactive games without stress, and asked them to go on a trip to change the environment. After more than a month, they were fine without even prescribing medicine. There are also differences in the ideas of psychological intervention: sex therapists prefer to conduct behavioral training for partners, such as commonly used sexy concentration training, to help two people let go of their obsession with "results" step by step. ； The psychoanalytic school will give priority to digging into the deep roots of anxiety, such as past sexual shadows and long-term work stress. Both methods have a large number of clinically proven and effective cases and are suitable for different situations. By the way, women can also have sexual dysfunctions, such as low sexual desire and painful intercourse after childbirth. Many people think these are "normal", but in fact, either the postpartum hormones have not recovered, the pelvic floor muscles are damaged, or the child is too tired and psychologically stressful. Don't bear it, early intervention can lead to improvement.

As for the medical intervention that everyone is most concerned about, it is actually not as scary as everyone thinks. PDE5 inhibitors commonly used in Western medicine, also known as "Viagra" drugs, many people are afraid of dependence on. In fact, as long as they are taken according to the doctor's instructions, they will not become addicted at all. On the contrary, for patients with psychological disorders, they can stop taking the drug directly after using it a few times to build up confidence. It has a quick onset of effect and is suitable for situations where temporary improvement is needed. ； Chinese medicine's syndrome differentiation medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion are more stable in treating chronic functional problems, such as low sexual desire caused by long-term liver stagnation and poor sleep. If you use prescriptions to soothe the liver and calm the nerves for two to three months, not only will your sexual function improve, but your overall condition will be much better, but the effects will be slower, so it is suitable for long-term conditioning. Don’t blindly buy Sanwu products sold by Wechat merchants and adult product stores. Many of them contain large doses of illegal western medicine ingredients. I have seen people whose blood pressure dropped to 80/50 after taking them and fainted and were sent to the emergency room. People with basic cardiovascular diseases may even be life-threatening.

Actually, this is nothing to be ashamed of. It's normal for you to perform abnormally once or twice once in a while. Whoever is tired from work and in poor condition should not label yourself as "sick" if you don't perform well once or twice. If nothing feels right for two or three months, it is much more useful to go directly to the men's department, gynecology department or sexual medicine department of a regular hospital than to blindly search and buy folk remedies online. Oh, by the way, many people say that squats can improve sexual function, which is indeed true, but don’t overdo it. There was a young man who squatted 200 times a day in order to get better quickly, and the meniscus of his knee was worn out. On the contrary, it was counterproductive. 3 times a week, 20 to 30 times each time, just take your time.
