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

There is no unified standard answer to the recovery of sexual dysfunction. A quick recovery may take 1 to 2 weeks to see significant improvement, while a slow recovery may take several months or even longer. The specific duration is closely related to the cause of the disease, the fit of the conditioning plan, and personal compliance.

Not long ago, I treated a 28-year-old young man who had just been married for 3 months. He was too nervous to have sex for the first time and failed. After that, he behaved abnormally several times in a row. He searched a lot of unreliable content on the Internet and always felt that he was "lifelong impotent." After a complete set of examinations, it was found that there were no problems with hormones, vascular function, and the reproductive system. It was purely a psychogenic problem. I gave him more than half an hour of cognitive counseling, corrected his previous misunderstandings about sexual function, taught both parties cooperative relaxation techniques, and prescribed some short-acting auxiliary drugs to be taken on demand to help him build up his confidence. Just 10 days after his return, he came over to report the good news, saying that he was completely able to have normal sex. In this situation without organic damage, the recovery was indeed very fast.

Of course, not everyone has such a good recovery speed. An old patient I was following last week had a completely different situation. He is 42 years old and drives a long-distance truck. He has a history of high blood pressure and diabetes for almost 12 years. He never leaves his hand as a smoker. It is common for him to spin while running. He sometimes forgets to take antihypertensive medicine when he is busy. It took him three years to see a doctor for erection problems. An angiogram revealed that the pudendal arteries were narrowed by almost 40%. This kind of situation with underlying diseases and long-term chronic injuries cannot be rushed. First, we need to help him control his blood pressure and blood sugar stably, and then use drugs to improve the endothelial function of blood vessels. We also force him to quit smoking. Even if he runs a route, he still has to find time to move for 20 minutes a day. In the first two months, he reported that there were no obvious changes. It was only in the third month that he gradually improved. It took almost half a year of conditioning to reach a state he was satisfied with.

Now I have seen two extreme statements on the Internet. Some people say that "sexual function can be cured in a month at most. If it is not good, it means you have been cheated." Others say that "this disease cannot be cured at all. It is all due to IQ tax." In fact, both of these statements are too one-sided. The former equates all patients with young people without organic damage, completely ignoring the difficulty of repair caused by long-term underlying diseases and organic damage to the reproductive system. ； The latter either did not find a formal conditioning plan, or they did not follow the doctor's instructions at all and stayed up all night and drank while taking conditioning medicine. No matter how good the plan was, it would not work.

To be honest, this is the same as when you ask "How long does it take to get better from a cold?" Normally, a mild cold can be recovered by drinking more hot water in two or three days. If it is complicated by pneumonia or myocarditis, it may not be completely cured without being hospitalized for ten and a half months. Is there any unified recovery timetable? If you really encounter this problem, don't worry about how long it will take to get better. First find a specialist in a regular hospital to find out the cause of the problem and make adjustments according to the plan in a down-to-earth manner. It is much more reliable than rushing around and buying folk prescriptions and supplements, and the recovery speed will naturally not be slowed down.
