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

There is really no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. For mild to moderate functional sexual dysfunction, there is a high probability of complete recovery after 3-6 months of conditioning. If there is organic damage or serious underlying diseases, only clear improvement can be seen in half a year, and it is difficult to completely recover.

I have met many friends who came for consultation. The one who impressed me the most was a 28-year-old Internet programmer last year. He often stayed up until two or three o'clock to work on projects. He also had a habit of masturbating for many years. After dating a girlfriend, he found that he was not strong enough and the time was short. The more anxious he was, the worse he got. I went to a regular hospital for a checkup at the men's department and found that there were no problems with hormones, blood vessels, and nerves. It was a typical functional disorder. The plan given to him at that time was to first adjust his work and rest, cooperate with regular aerobic + Kegel exercises, and then use a small amount of short-acting drugs as needed. The young man has a very strong execution ability. He pushed away unnecessary social activities, tried to go to bed before 11 o'clock every day, ran 3 kilometers three days a week, and did a set of Kegel exercises in the morning and evening. He came here to report the good news after only more than 4 months, saying that he was completely normal. He has been back for a visit for half a year now, and his condition has been stable and has not happened again.

In contrast to him is a 45-year-old private company owner who has had type 2 diabetes for almost 10 years. His blood sugar control is so-so. He has developed minor peripheral nerve and vascular complications, causing erectile dysfunction. When he came to see me, he had been unable to have normal sex for almost a year. When adjusting his blood sugar, we must first stabilize his blood sugar, and then use drugs to improve microcirculation, nourish nerves, and functional training. After half a year of adjustment, now he can only have enough foreplay and can complete sexual intercourse normally when he is relaxed. It is definitely much better than the initial state where he was unable to achieve an erection. However, in order to completely return to the state before the illness, he must continue to adjust slowly and not in a hurry.

In fact, sexual dysfunction is similar to the cold we usually get. Some are just a common cold caused by cold wind and can be cured by drinking more hot water for two days. Some are combined with bacterial infection or even pneumonia, and it is normal to treat it for ten days and a half. You must first figure out what kind of situation you are in. The sexual function problems of most young people are functional, either due to long-term disordered work and rest, physical overdraft, or the psychological shadow left by failure for the first time. As long as you find the right adjustment direction, your own execution ability can keep up, and don't put unnecessary psychological pressure on yourself, you can basically recover in half a year.

However, if you have had high blood pressure, diabetes for many years, or have suffered organic damage caused by pelvic trauma, prostate surgery, or even congenital abnormal hormone levels, then the conditioning itself is a slow process. If you can see clear improvement in half a year, it is considered to be a good effect. There is no need to stick to the time limit of half a year to add anxiety to yourself, which will slow down the recovery speed. By the way, I would also like to remind you, don’t blindly search for folk remedies and supplement aphrodisiacs. I have seen several young men who originally only had mild premature ejaculation. They randomly supplemented the "kidney-tonifying secret recipe" that had been unknown for more than half a year. Instead, they messed up their endocrine system. The problem was supposed to be corrected in 3 months, but it took more than a year to recover.

To put it bluntly, it is much more effective to go to a regular hospital to find out the cause of the disease first and follow the adjustment plan in a down-to-earth manner than to worry about "how long it will take to get better" every day. After all, individual differences are really huge when it comes to recovery.
