For men, erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to the persistent inability of the penis to achieve or maintain an erection in order to achieve a satisfactory sexual life. ED can be divided into three levels according to its degree: light, medium, and heavy. Due to the lack of understanding of ED knowledge, many ED patients carry a heavy ideological burden, affecting their normal family life. They often become withdrawn and prone to irritability, which affects interpersonal relationships.
Although it was previously believed that psychological factors were the main cause of ED, the current understanding is that for most men, ED is related to many diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia), drugs, trauma and surgery. ED is also a physical and mental disease. If long-term psychological ED cannot receive timely and reasonable treatment and psychological guidance, the condition will worsen and gradually turn into organic ED. At the same time, the incidence rate of chronic basic diseases is gradually increasing in the population, especially in middle-aged and elderly men, which will greatly affect their sexual function and penile erectile status. For example, in patients with diabetes, the prevalence of ED can be as high as 80%, and most of them are moderate to severe ED.
Rui Hong's husband initially had mild ED, with the most obvious evidence of having an erection in the morning and being able to complete marital life. With the passage of time, as well as the intangible pressure from Ruihong, the two come together to promote the further decline of Ruihong's husband's erectile function, which has never recovered since then. At the same time, Ruihong realized the seriousness of the problem and requested treatment. Due to her husband's inability to save face, she did not want to go to the hospital for treatment. Instead, she could only use traditional Chinese medicine to tonify the kidney and nourish the yang with food. Due to the lack of diagnosis and treatment from a regular hospital, the patient's condition has been repeatedly delayed, resulting in severe ED patients.
Sun and Moon are also ED patients, and their wives are also at the peak of sexual demand. Although the patient complained of sudden sexual dysfunction, careful analysis can reveal that the etiology is relatively clear, and the process is not sudden. With the gradual promotion of Sun Yue's position, especially as a financial controller, he has been overworked, engaged in numerous social engagements, and drunk countless times. At the same time, he has exercised less, and his waist circumference has become thicker and thicker. His physical examination has identified alcoholic liver disease and hypertension. This lifestyle and eating habits cause diseases such as alcoholic liver disease and hypertension, which can clearly cause ED. Based on the above situation, it can be considered as secondary ED, with a greater likelihood of organic ED.
There are two points worth advocating in coping with Sun Moon couples: First, a gentle and kind wife does not blindly complain, but comforts and encourages patients; The second is that both parties understand each other and recognize the problem, while actively treating it. What needs to be improved is: Don't blindly supplement, change their poor living and eating habits, strengthen physical exercise, and actively treat primary diseases such as fatty liver and hypertension. Of course, it is also necessary to go to the male department of a regular hospital for corresponding examinations to obtain reasonable suggestions and treatment measures from doctors.
The etiology of ED can be divided into organic, psychological, and mixed. Although men's sexual function gradually decreases with age, positive measures can be taken to delay the progression of ED before it occurs, such as maintaining good living habits: quitting smoking, not drinking excessively, not indulging in libido, strengthening exercise, enhancing physical fitness, improving marital emotions, improving life enjoyment, and avoiding fatigue.
There are many precursors before the onset of ED, such as a significant increase in the interval between second erections, a decrease or decrease in the number and hardness of erections in the morning, an increase in the initiation time of erections, a rapid weakening of the penis after stopping stimulation, and a decrease in the hardness of erections.
After middle-aged men develop ED, they should actively and actively seek medical advice from the hospital, achieve reasonable diet, quit smoking and alcohol, and strengthen exercise. If there are primary diseases that seriously affect sexual function, early active treatment should be taken, rational medication should be used, and it is not advisable to blindly supplement.
