How long does it take to recover from sexual dysfunction treatment?

There is no unified standard answer to the conditioning and recovery of sexual dysfunction. It can take as short as 2 to 4 weeks to fully recover, and as long as it takes half a year or even more. A very small number of patients with severe organic lesions may not be able to fully recover through routine conditioning. The specific time depends on the cause, severity of the condition, and the patient's cooperation.

I have been in the men's clinic for nearly 6 years, and the conditions of the patients I have seen vary greatly. I have also discussed this issue when communicating with colleagues before. Some young doctors believe that as long as the sexual dysfunction is purely psychologically induced, it can be effective after a week of counseling. There are also veteran experts who have been practicing medicine for 30 to 40 years insist that sexual function conditioning requires at least 3 months of behavioral intervention to completely avoid rebound. Both views are actually valid and correspond to different groups of people.

Last month, I saw a 28-year-old young man who had just gotten married. He was too nervous to have sex for the first time and failed. After that, he was always worried. The more he was afraid of failure, the more problems he would encounter. He couldn't have sex successfully for almost a month. When he came for a check-up, the six hormones and the nocturnal erection test were all normal, but he was too mentally burdened, and his wife was also a little emotional. I gave them more than 40 minutes of counseling together, taught them some tips on how to cooperate with foreplay, and prescribed a small dose of sildenafil for him to take as needed to build up his confidence. As a result, just 10 days later, the couple came for a follow-up consultation and said that everything was completely normal, and they didn't take the prescribed medicine even a few times.

But such good things are rare after all. Most people have been delayed for some time when they come to see a doctor. They even have underlying diseases, so their recovery speed will naturally not be fast. There used to be a 45-year-old taxi driver who had been driving for almost 20 years. He sat for long periods of time every day and had to hold his urine. He had chronic prostatitis for five or six years. Not only did his erections have poor hardness during intercourse, but he also always had a dull pain during intercourse. This was caused by chronic problems. He needed to control the inflammation of the prostate first, and then cooperate with pelvic floor muscle training. At the beginning, he kept forgetting to take his medicine, and when he was busy running taxis, he didn't even have time to do levator exercises. There was almost no change in the first month. Later, his wife urged him to set the alarm every day to take medicine, and he did several sets of levator exercises while waiting for customers. It took almost two and a half months for him to slowly improve, and it took more than four months for him to completely stabilize.

Nowadays, there are always people on the Internet who are boasting about "7 days to cure sexual dysfunction". This is just a way of cutting leeks. I can't blame everyone for believing it easily. After all, everyone who suffers from this disease wants to get better quickly, but there is no need to go to the other extreme. If you feel that the recovery is slow anyway, just break the pot, smoke, drink, and stay up late as usual. Let alone conditioning, it will only get worse.

In fact, this adjustment is like repairing an old car that has been driven for many years. If it is just out of oil, you can refill it and run immediately. If the engine has a lot of carbon deposits and the parts are old, you have to clean them slowly and replace them slowly. If you slam the accelerator in a hurry, it will easily damage the car. Don’t worry too much about how long it will take to get better. Find a reliable doctor to find out the cause first, and follow the plan. Most people can see clear improvement in about 3 months. If there is serious nerve or blood vessel damage, there are now surgical options such as prosthetic implantation, and you can always find a suitable solution.
