Is it good to treat sexual dysfunction in half a year?

There is really no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. I have been in men's clinics for almost ten years, and I have seen patients return to normal in more than two months at the fastest, while others slowly improved after more than a year of treatment. The core depends on the cause of the disease, whether the treatment plan is correct, and whether you can stick to the doctor's instructions.

A 27-year-old programmer who just completed a follow-up visit in the past two months spent more than three months working on a project late at night. He kept coffee and cigarettes in hand every day. He was so stressed that he went home and slept with a pillow. He had sex with his girlfriend three times in a row. He was so scared that he secretly bought a bunch of supplements and took them to no avail. When he came for the examination, his hormone and blood vessel functions were all normal. It was a typical functional disorder caused by excessive fatigue + anxiety. The prescription given to him was actually nothing special. First of all, he was forced to adjust his schedule and make time to run three kilometers at least three times a week. He was not prescribed any strong medicine, just some mild medicine to regulate his mood and physical condition. He also specifically asked his girlfriend not to put pressure on him and to be more patient. As a result, he was fully adjusted for more than four months. When he came for a follow-up visit last week, he said that he had already returned to his previous state. The couple also planned to get the certificate at the end of the year. For people with no organic damage and clear triggers, many people can completely return to normal levels in two or three months, let alone half a year.

But if you have organic damage caused by underlying diseases, there is really no rush. Last year, there was a 42-year-old private company owner with a history of diabetes of almost 7 years. He usually socialized a lot and had poor blood sugar control. He had erectile dysfunction for almost two years before he had the courage to check it out. This kind of long-term high blood sugar slowly erodes the blood vessels and nerves of the penis. It is an irreversible chronic damage. It cannot be completely cured by adjusting it for a few months. He first followed the endocrinology department for more than three months to adjust his blood sugar to the normal range, and then cooperated with our physical rehabilitation and symptomatic medication. It took him more than eight months to slowly get a stable erection. It has been almost a year now, and he can only be said to be able to live a normal married life, which is definitely incomparable to his state in his twenties.

There are also many people who waste time by messing around on their own. I have seen too many patients who are too shy to go to regular hospitals. They either search for folk remedies on the Internet and take supplements blindly, or they believe in the "magic aphrodisiacs" sold by WeChat merchants. They spend tens of thousands, and the problems become more and more serious. Last month, there was a 30-year-old man who had been adjusting his condition blindly for more than half a year. His liver fire was so strong that he had nosebleeds every day, and his erection problems were even worse than at the beginning. It was equivalent to a waste of the previous six months. If you ask him whether half a year of conditioning can make it better, it will definitely not work. No matter how long he goes astray, it will be useless.

To be honest, repairing it is like repairing an old appliance. If the plug is loose and the connection is bad, just twist it twice. If the wiring inside is old and burned, it must be dismantled and repaired slowly. There is no unified timetable. Don’t get too anxious just because others are doing well in two months. Go to a regular hospital to find out what your problem is, and honestly adjust your living habits and cooperate with the treatment according to the doctor’s instructions. Most people can see significant improvement within half a year. Even if the situation is more serious, giving it more time can achieve good results. On the contrary, if you worry about it every day, you will be under too much psychological pressure, which will also slow down the speed of recovery.
