How long does it take for sexual dysfunction to return to normal?

There is no unified time standard for the recovery of sexual dysfunction. The vast majority of people with mild functional problems can basically return to normal in 2 weeks to 3 months. If there is organic damage or combined with underlying diseases, it may take half a year or even longer for a conditioning cycle. There are also a small number of patients with severe injuries that are difficult to completely reverse to their previous state.

I have been doing men's health management for 6 years, and the fastest I have ever seen is a 27-year-old middle school teacher. He had just finished teaching his high school graduating class. He was very stressed for more than three months. He had sex with his girlfriend three times in a row without success. He came to the consultation with acne all over his face. His hormones and corpus cavernosum blood flow were checked, and there was nothing wrong. It was a typical stress-induced dysfunction. He went back to adjust his schedule, found time to play ball twice a week, and didn't even take medicine. Within three weeks, he was completely normal.

Don't think that everyone can be so quick. Those advertisements on the Internet that say "the treatment will be effective within one week" are actually catching people's eagerness to seek good results. They screen only mild patients with no real damage, and directly push away those with slight organic problems. Naturally, they dare to pat their chests to confirm. On the other hand, some people say that this disease cannot be cured. Most of them are because they have had diabetes and high blood pressure for more than ten years, which have long damaged the blood vessels and nerves of the cavernous body. Recovery is inherently difficult, and individual cases cannot be regarded as general conditions.

We just completed the follow-up last month with a 36-year-old business executive who has a history of diabetes for 7 years and suffered from erectile dysfunction for almost two years. Before, he took aphrodisiacs blindly and his nosebleeds did not get better. When he came, his blood lipids and blood sugar were all red. We first asked him to cooperate with the endocrinologist to regulate blood sugar and blood lipids, and then cooperated with pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation. After training and low-energy shock wave therapy, there was almost no significant improvement in the first three months. He almost gave up. It was only in the fifth month that he could slowly complete sexual intercourse normally. Now, after almost 8 months of conditioning, he has basically stabilized at a normal level. Of course, there is still a gap compared with young people without underlying diseases.

In fact, this is similar to caring for an injured flower. You just forgot to water it and it has been dry for a few days, and the leaves will wilt. Watering it thoroughly and exposing it to the sun for two days will slow it down. If the roots are rotten by insects, you will have to remove insects and replace the soil in addition to watering. The recovery time will naturally be longer. If the entire root is rotten, it will be difficult to return to its most lush state no matter how much you care for it.

There are also many people whose slow recovery is purely due to heavy psychological baggage. It was just a one-time abnormal performance, so they keep an eye on their condition every day. Every time they have sex, they feel like they are in an exam room, for fear that they will not be able to do it. The more nervous the sympathetic nerves, the more excited they are, which makes them more likely to have problems. I have seen many people who originally recovered in a month or two, but still couldn't recover after half a year.

To put it bluntly, the duration of conditioning essentially depends on the degree of damage to your body. The earlier the problem is discovered, the sooner you can intervene. If there is no underlying disease, the recovery speed will be faster. If there is a problem, don’t just look for folk remedies. It’s better to find out where the problem is first.
