How long does it take to treat sexual dysfunction?

There is really no unified standard answer to this question. I have been in the clinical practice of men's medicine for 8 years, and I have seen patients who basically returned to normal in less than 3 weeks, and there are also patients who slowly reached a satisfactory state after nearly 2 years of treatment. The core depends on what caused it, the extent of the damage, and whether you can cooperate with the treatment throughout the process.

Last month, I met a 26-year-old young man. He was too nervous to have sex for the first time and failed. It left a psychological shadow after that. For three months in a row, he could not get hard or ejaculated as soon as he entered. When he came for examination, all the indicators were normal, and there was no sign of organic damage, so he was given the procedure. After half an hour of psychological counseling, he was prescribed some low-dose erection aids that he could take on demand. He was told not to stay up late, but to run for half an hour three or four days a week. He also communicated with his girlfriend in advance before having sex so as not to put pressure on him. Last week, he came for a follow-up consultation and said that there was no problem at all. It took less than a month.

But if you have underlying diseases, the situation is completely different. There was a 52-year-old Zhou who had a 12-year history of diabetes and had not been well controlled by medication. When he came here, his erection hardness could not even reach level 2. It was found that the blood vessels in his penis had obvious atherosclerosis and a serious lack of blood supply. This kind of situation required him to go to the endocrinology department to control his blood sugar stably, and then gradually adjust the medication to expand blood vessels and nourish nerves. He strictly followed the doctor's instructions for 10 months, and finally he was able to complete sexual intercourse normally.

There are two extreme opinions on the Internet. One is to pat one's chest and say "no matter what the situation is, it will be cured in one month", and the other is to say that "if you have it, you will never be able to recover from the disease". In fact, they are both unreliable. The former are basically deceived by merchants who sell "three-no" aphrodisiacs, deliberately boasting about their efficacy to make quick money. The latter either did not find the right cause of the disease in the early stage and blindly treated it, which delayed the course of the disease, or the damage has become irreversible and they are unwilling to accept auxiliary programs, which leads to such a negative conclusion.

It sounds very similar to repairing a car. If it is just temporarily out of oil, or there is a small nail in the tire, you can drive normally after refilling the oil in ten minutes. If the engine has a cylinder failure or the transmission system is broken, it will definitely have to be disassembled and repaired for ten days and a half. It will also require regular maintenance. Whether it can return to the condition of a new car depends on the degree of damage. The same logic applies to sexual function conditioning.

Of course, the speed of recovery is also linked to your own living habits and the cooperation of your partner. I have met many patients who, while taking medication to adjust, stay up late every day, drink heavily, and masturbate four or five times a week. No matter how good the plan is, it is useless. Some patients originally only had mild symptoms, but their partners were sarcastic every time they had sex, and those who could have gotten up were frightened. The recovery time will naturally be delayed for a long time.

If you really want to know how long it will take for you to recover, it is better to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive evaluation to find out the cause of the disease accurately, and then follow the plan in a down-to-earth manner. Don’t frighten yourself by blindly searching for information, and don’t believe in those gimmicks that offer quick and radical cures. Most people can get good results as long as they look in the right direction.
