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

How long does it take to recover from sexual dysfunction treatment? There is no standard answer - if it is a mild problem caused by purely psychological factors or bad living habits, significant improvement can be seen in 4 to 8 weeks. ； Organic problems combined with underlying diseases may require long-term management of 3 to 6 months or even longer. A few problems caused by irreversible damage to nerves and blood vessels may not even be fully recovered, and normal functions can only be maintained through intervention.

I have been in andrology clinic for almost 8 years, and I have seen too many patients who clutch their mobile phones and ask "doctor, am I going to get better in this life" as soon as they come in? In fact, the recovery speed is really very different. You will understand if I mention two very impressive examples. Last year, there was a 28-year-old young man who just got married. He failed to have sex for half a month. Either the hardness was not enough or he ejaculated as soon as he entered. He was so anxious that he lost a handful of hair. The hormones and blood flow were all normal, but he was too addicted to handjobs before marriage. In addition, he spent more than half a month preparing for the wedding, which was stressful and physically exhausted. He was given a work and rest adjustment plan, plus pelvic floor muscle training, and his wife accompanied him for two desensitization sessions. After 6 weeks, he came to report that everything was completely normal. Another 42-year-old patient was in much more trouble. He had a 6-year history of diabetes and atherosclerosis. When he came, his erectile hardness could not even reach level 2, and he was also accompanied by severe premature ejaculation. He first adjusted his blood sugar and blood lipids for 3 months, combined with low-dose PDE5 inhibitors and vacuum negative pressure therapy. It was only in the 5th month that he gradually stabilized to the point where he could complete sexual intercourse. He is still insisting on follow-up management.

Many people are always confused between Western medicine and Chinese medicine. In fact, the judgment logic of the two sides is quite different, but in essence they are all looking for incentives, and there is no absolute good or bad. Western medicine will first distinguish between functional and organic problems. To put it bluntly, it means whether there is organic damage to the blood vessels and nerves of the reproductive system itself: if it is just a temporary "strike" caused by stress, staying up late, and frequent masturbation, generally adjusting the lifestyle and adding symptomatic intervention, it can basically return to normal within 1 to 3 months. ； However, if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or even suffered trauma to your pelvis that damaged your nerves and blood vessels, you must first control the underlying disease. Functional recovery can only follow the pace of the underlying disease. Many people with diabetes who have long-term disease may need lifelong management, and they cannot be said to be "completely cured."

The views of traditional Chinese medicine are different. It pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. It is true that not everyone needs to replenish the kidneys - eight of the ten young men in my clinic who said they had kidney deficiency suffered from liver stagnation or damp-heat, either because they were stressed out every day, or because they sat for a long time eating spicy food and drinking ice, which left them with a lot of moisture in their bodies. If you take Liuwei Rehmannia Pills and Deer Antler Deer Bian blindly, the more you replenish your kidneys, the more the fire will increase and the problem will become more serious. Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning generally takes 1 to 3 months as an observation cycle. After all, physical conditioning cannot be improved by drinking medicine for two days. Many people have not only improved their functions in the first half of the year, but also have their usual backache, sleepiness, and temper tantrums eliminated.

I have seen too many people who could have recovered quickly, but they slowed down their progress. The most common thing is that they can't control themselves. There was a 32-year-old programmer who was diagnosed with mild ED caused by prolonged sitting and staying up late. He was prescribed a small dose of tadalafil and asked to do 10 minutes of Kegel exercises every day, go to bed before 11 o'clock, and not drink iced milk tea. As a result, this guy agreed, but he still stayed up until 2 o'clock every day to fix the bug. He drank cold beer with friends every week, took medicine for a month and came for a follow-up consultation and said it was useless. Later, his wife took care of him and put away his cell phone at 10:30 every day.

Another point that is easily overlooked is the attitude of your partner. There was a 26-year-old young man who failed to have sex for the first time after getting married, and then three times in a row. His wife scolded him every time, "Are you a man?"

There are still many people who are eager to "quickly" buy the magic medicine that is known as "7-day cure" and "hard in one pill" in the circle of friends. I advise you not to touch it as soon as possible. Most of them add a large dose of sildenafil in violation of regulations. It is useful on the same day, but it is not conditioning at all. On the contrary, it will disrupt your own body's feedback, and it will be worse after stopping the medicine. I have seen many patients who took Internet celebrity kidney-tonifying drugs for half a year, and in the end even morning erections disappeared. The gain outweighs the loss. Don’t judge yourself because of poor performance once or twice. Many people actually don’t have sexual dysfunction at all. They are just tired or too nervous recently. They just need to rest for two days to adjust their mentality. As a result, they blindly search Baidu, and the more they read, the more scared they become. They are suddenly worried that there is a problem. In fact, as long as you talk to a regular doctor for ten minutes to relieve the knot, it can be relieved in a week or two.

To put it bluntly, this is no different from a cold or a fever. Young people are in good condition, but they just catch a cold temporarily. They can just drink hot water for two days. If they have chronic bronchitis and develop pneumonia, they will definitely have to stay for ten days and a half. Don't compare your recovery speed with others, and don't be embarrassed to go to the men's department or urology department of a regular hospital. There is really nothing to be ashamed of. Finding the right cause and listening to the doctor is better than anything else.
