Title: It has been estimated that a person will have sexual intercourse about 2000-3000 times in his life. The chances of malfunction during sexual affairs are high, and generally speaking about a quarter of our sexual life is unsatisfactory for ourselves. As a result, sexual dysfunction has become a relatively high number of diseases in male clinics. Although sexual dysfunction does not usually affect normal work and study, it often affects the patient’s life (especially the relationship between husband and wife). So, what exactly is sexual dysfunction? How can sexual dysfunction be treated? Dr. Zhou intends to use several chapters to talk about this topic, sexual dysfunction misconceptions: sexual dysfunction = impotence Sexual dysfunction is actually not the same as impotence. To understand sexual dysfunction, first we have to understand what the normal sexual function includes. The normal play of sexual function mainly includes several aspects, ① sexual desire: that is to say, want to do that thing, a thirst and desire for sex; ② erection: the penis can be normal erection, to a certain hardness, and can maintain such hardness to ejaculation; ③ ejaculation and orgasm: when the sexual thing to a certain degree of excitement, people will reach orgasm, accompanied by strong pleasure, the phenomenon of ejaculation, breeding (3) Ejaculation and orgasm: When the sexual event makes a person reach a certain level of excitement, accompanied by strong pleasure, the phenomenon of ejaculation occurs, and offspring is conceived. After understanding the general composition of sexual function, the disease of sexual dysfunction will be much easier to explain. Basically, a problem with any of these processes can be called a sexual dysfunction. As a result, medical science has carefully classified them into different categories. Generally speaking, they include: sexual desire disorder (such as low libido, hypersexuality, etc.); erectile dysfunction (abbreviated as ED, also known as impotence, but the word impotence has been abandoned because of its pejorative meaning); ejaculatory dysfunction (such as premature ejaculation, non-ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, etc.). Of course there are also some less common sexual dysfunctions, such as abnormal penile erection (erect penis without sexual stimulation cannot be impotent for a long time); sexual fear, etc. In this way, it seems that sexual dysfunction is a big concept, which includes impotence (erectile dysfunction) that we often talk about, but is much broader than erectile dysfunction. Therefore, if you consult or see a doctor, you must remember to clearly describe what kind of sexual dysfunction you are suffering from. Whether it is a problem with erection, ejaculation, or libido, it is treated differently in the clinic. Sexual dysfunction misconception 2: impotent people will definitely premature ejaculation? Is impotence always accompanied by premature ejaculation? We often see this affectionate pair of brothers in newspapers and television, and in street advertisements. As a result, people often think that impotence will also necessarily be accompanied by premature ejaculation. The issue of sexual desire, on the other hand, is often ignored because of various factors related to a person’s emotions, work pressure, and life environment. If this is the case, most people think that impotence will definitely be premature ejaculation, sexual dysfunction is impotence plus premature ejaculation, or simply impotence = sexual dysfunction. The truth is that people with erectile dysfunction are not necessarily accompanied by premature ejaculation. In a special case, if the penis is not erect at all, there is usually no ejaculation. In many young men with premature ejaculation, the hardness of the penis is quite good, but the control of ejaculation is just not good. Erection is essentially the expansion of blood vessels in the penis, while ejaculation is caused by the contraction of the muscles governing ejaculation after sexual excitement reaches a certain threshold. The relationship between the two is thus not inevitable.
