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

There is no unified standard answer to the recovery time of sexual dysfunction treatment - mild psychogenic problems may be significantly improved in 1 to 3 months, and organic mild symptoms usually see stable effects in 3 to 6 months. People with complex complex types, congenital or severe organic injuries may require long-term intervention from half a year to several years, and some irreversible injuries may even require lifelong management.

I just met a 28-year-old Internet programmer a while ago. He stayed at 996 for more than half a year. After his first sexual intercourse with his girlfriend failed, he became troubled. He fell out of control again and again. I secretly bought a lot of kidney-tonifying health products and took them for two months, but they didn't feel better. I was so anxious that the corners of my mouth were bubbling. When he came for a check-up, his hormone and vascular functions were all normal, but his sympathetic nerves were too overactive and he had a lot of psychological burden. We prescribed him a small dose of PDE5 inhibitors (also commonly known as "Viagra" drugs, which can be taken regularly and as needed without any dependence). We adjusted his sleep schedule, and the psychological counselor who contacted him did three sessions of cognitive counseling. After two and a half months, he came back to report that he was completely normal.

Don't think that just because someone is doing well in two months, you can just wait and see. I've seen too many patients come in with the mentality of "I'll be okay as long as others are doing well", and they end up being extremely anxious. Think about it, people are just scared. If you have a history of diabetes for five or six years and your blood vessels have become atherosclerotic and your blood supply cannot keep up, your recovery speed will definitely be incomparable. Oh, by the way, there is also the age difference. A young man in his early 20s has a fast metabolism and strong repair ability. The same problem will definitely be treated much faster than a middle-aged man in his 50s with underlying diseases. This is completely normal.

Nowadays, doctors from different directions in the industry have different judgment logics on the conditioning cycle. Western medicine generally first identifies the exact cause. For example, it is found that low androgen levels cause loss of sexual desire and poor erection. If testosterone undecanoate is regularly supplemented, sexual desire will usually be improved in 2 to 4 weeks, and hormone levels will stabilize within the normal range in about 3 months. ； If it is found that the blood supply is insufficient due to penile arteriovenous fistula, taking medicine is basically useless, and surgery will be required to repair it, and the postoperative recovery will take 1 to 3 months. The conditioning logic of traditional Chinese medicine is more holistic and does not focus on a certain indicator. For example, many young people always feel that they have "kidney deficiency" and need to be replenished. In fact, most of them are liver stagnation and damp heat caused by staying up late and suppressing emotions. Taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills will only make things worse. With symptomatic treatment, most people will slowly feel an improvement in energy and function in 1 to 2 months. Although the effect is slow, the effect is stable. Nowadays, most of our clinical recommendations are to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine. If there are clear organic lesions, we should first rely on Western medicine to solve the core problem, and then rely on traditional Chinese medicine to adjust the body's condition, so that the recovery speed can be much faster.

Another variable that is easily overlooked is the extent to which you follow your doctor's instructions. Last year I met a 35-year-old owner of a building materials business. It was found that the erectile dysfunction was caused by a decrease in blood vessel elasticity caused by long-term hypertension. He was asked to quit smoking and drinking, take antihypertensive drugs regularly to stabilize blood pressure, and then cooperate with regular treatment with low-dose PDE5 inhibitors. He was doing well. He refused to take antihypertensive drugs for fear of affecting his function. He had many social activities and drank at least 4 meals a week. He also stayed up late every day playing mahjong when he got home. After almost a year of treatment, there was no improvement. Later, his wife finally made him obedient and stopped smoking and drinking. After his blood pressure stabilized, most of his functions were restored in less than 4 months. To put it bluntly, if you condition and build at the same time, even if the gods come, it will be useless. It is common for the recovery time to be extended by two or three times.

Oh, by the way, if you have a high proportion of psychosexuality, you can really consider asking your partner for sexual psychology counseling. Clinical data from many sex therapists now shows that if your partner intervenes together, the recovery time can be shortened by at least one-third. There used to be a young man who had almost managed his condition, but every time he had sex with his girlfriend, he would subconsciously ask, "Are you okay this time?" This frightened him back to square one. Later, he brought his girlfriend with him for two consultations. Both of them relaxed, and within a month it was completely normal.

There is really no need to dwell on the question of "how long will it take to get better?" The more anxious you are and the tighter your nerves are, the more likely it is that problems will occur. This is the same as the more you want to get high scores in exams, the more likely you are to perform abnormally. If there is really no movement at all after 1 to 2 months of conditioning, quickly change your mind and check again. Don't hold on to it, and don't believe in any "7-day cure for sexual dysfunction" folk remedies. It's a trivial matter to waste money. If you eat the body badly, it will be even harder to recover.
