How long does it take to treat sexual dysfunction?

There is no unified standard answer. People with mild functional disorders can feel significant improvement as soon as 2-4 weeks. Most people with mild organic problems or mild psychological factors can return to a satisfactory state in 3-6 months. Those with congenital developmental abnormalities, severe organic injuries, or psychological problems such as severe anxiety and depression may require long-term management, and may not even be completely reversed.

I just received a 28-year-old young man a while ago. He stayed up late for more than half a year, and during that period of time, he was under a lot of work pressure. He often relied on manual stimulation to release his emotions. Suddenly, he couldn't have a normal erection. He was so scared that he went to the emergency room for examination. He had hormones and cavernous blood vessel ultrasound done. There were no organic problems. It was just a disorder of work and rest and excessive sympathetic nerve excitement. I prescribed some symptomatic conditioning drugs for him and asked him to stop staying up late and do Kegel exercises for 10 minutes every day. When he came back for a follow-up visit in the third week, he said that he had successfully completed intercourse and was quite satisfied. This is a typical functional problem. The organs themselves were not damaged. It was like clearing the background and restarting the mobile phone, and he recovered naturally and quickly.

There are two opinions on the Internet that are quite quarrelsome now. One is that "it can be cured within two months at most", and the other is that "this disease cannot be cured at all, and they are all scams." In fact, both opinions have their own basis, but they are from different angles. It is said that it can be cured in two months. Most of the people I deal with are the young people mentioned just now, have no underlying diseases, and are simply caused by bad living habits or temporary psychological stress. Adjustments will naturally bring quick results. ； To say that it cannot be cured, you may have had diabetes or high blood pressure for 20 to 30 years, which has blocked the blood vessels in the cavernous body like a rusty old water pipe, or you may have accidentally injured the nerves that control erections during pelvic surgery. This kind of situation cannot be completely restored to its original state, and you can only rely on drugs or equipment to maintain function, which naturally cannot achieve the expectation of a "radical cure".

When many people come to register, the first thing they ask is "How long will it take for me to be cured?" I'm going on a trip with my partner next week." At times like this, I usually can't give you an accurate answer. I have to go through an examination to find out the cause of the disease before I dare to say anything. After all, there are too many factors that affect this matter. Last time, there was a 35-year-old patient who found no problems during the physical examination. He just had a conflict with his wife for more than half a year. Every time he had sex, it was like he was chasing KPIs. There is no standard for the recovery time in this situation. It all depends on the communication efficiency of the two people. There are also many people who are too embarrassed to come to the hospital, so they search for some folk remedies on the Internet and eat them randomly. The problem should be cured in two or three weeks, but they take the wrong medicine and it becomes chronic. Instead, they have to spend several more months to treat the problem, which is not worth the loss.

To be honest, the most taboo thing about conditioning is to compare the progress with others. Just because someone is better in two weeks does not mean that you will be better in two weeks, and if someone is not better in half a year, it does not mean that you will not be better either. First find the root problem, and then calm down and make adjustments together. It is much more effective than counting the days on your fingers every day. After all, the more anxious you are, the more burden you will put on your body, which will slow down the recovery.
