How long does it take to treat sexual dysfunction?

There is no fixed unified cycle for the treatment of sexual dysfunction. Depending on the cause, severity and individual compliance, significant improvement can be seen in as little as 1 to 3 months. Severe organic problems may require long-term management of more than half a year. Some patients with chronic underlying diseases even require lifelong follow-up and adjustment of the plan.

Don't think this span is too exaggerated. I have been working in men's clinics for many years, and the individual differences among the patients I come into contact with are really huge. There used to be a 28-year-old young man who had just been married for three months. Because he masturbated frequently before marriage, and was too nervous about having sex for the first time, he always felt that he was not good enough. His subsequent erections were not strong enough, and his intercourse time was also short. After a test of hormones and blood vessels, there were no problems. It was a typical dysfunction mainly caused by psychological factors. The plan for him was to first adjust his work and rest, get rid of the habit of staying up late, cooperate with pelvic floor muscle training 3 to 4 times a week, and occasionally take half a tablet of sildenafil as needed before intercourse to build confidence. In addition, his wife was also very cooperative and did not give him any negative emotions. After 2 and a half months of adjustment, he no longer needs medication at all, and his intercourse is very stable.

If you have organic damage or chronic underlying diseases, the pace of conditioning will definitely slow down. A 46-year-old brother who just came back for a follow-up visit last month has a history of diabetes for 8 years. His blood sugar control has always been so-so. He came to see a doctor almost 3 years ago after developing erectile dysfunction. After a checkup, it was found that the endothelium of the blood vessels in his penis had been significantly damaged, and the penis was not hard enough due to insufficient blood supply. The plan given to him was first to strictly control his blood sugar, combined with drugs to improve the vascular endothelium, plus regular aerobic exercise and pelvic floor muscle training. It took him almost 7 months to gradually achieve a satisfactory sexual hardness, and he had to keep his blood sugar stable in the future, otherwise it would be easy to relapse.

Nowadays, the opinions on this issue on the Internet are extremely polarized. On one side, unscrupulous merchants advocate "results in 7 days and cure in 21 days." On the other side, many people think that sexual dysfunction cannot be cured for life and can only be maintained by medication. In fact, both arguments are untenable. Speaking of which, the logic of this treatment is actually very similar to that of treating chronic gastritis. If it is just acute stomach pain caused by improper diet or stress occasionally, abstain from spicy food for a period of time and eat regularly, it will be cured in a few weeks. ； If organic damage such as gastric ulcer or atrophic gastritis has occurred, it must be repaired slowly, and you must pay attention to your diet and rest for a long time. It is impossible to take medicine for a few days and be relieved once and for all.

In addition to the cause of the disease, the speed of treatment is also closely related to living habits and partner status. There was a 32-year-old patient who had obviously improved after more than a month of adjustment. However, he had a big fight with his wife over trivial family matters, and problems arose again during sex. His condition immediately returned to its original state. He then slowly recovered after more than two months of adjustment.

If you really encounter this problem, there is no need to frighten yourself by searching online articles, and don't be embarrassed to go to the men's department or urology department of a regular hospital, let alone buy the quick-acting remedies that are touted online. Make adjustments according to the doctor's plan, and your partner will be more tolerant and patient. Most people can slowly return to a satisfactory state.
