"Sexual well-being" is one of the criteria for testing quality of life, and male erectile stiffness is the primary factor determining sexual satisfaction and a perfect sexual experience for both spouses. In recent years, the detection rate of erectile dysfunction (hereinafter referred to as "ED") has increased, with the situation of "not being able to do so at a young age" being very common, while psychological ED accounts for over 70%.
Young men's high stress ED incidence rate
Research shows that 83.42% of Chinese people agree that the best hardness is the best way to obtain the best satisfaction from their partner, while 75.15% suffer from depression and stress, which impairs their high-quality "sexual well-being" life. "Young men who experience short-term ED are mostly caused by greater social, family, and personal pressure." Many young men do not have organic diseases, but they experience short-term or mild ED, which is usually related to high short-term work pressure, partner incompatibility, lack of support, lack of understanding of sexual skills, sexual disharmony, anxiety, and depression. "However, unlike older men, young men generally have a more positive attitude towards ED treatment and are willing to focus on ED treatment to regain their 'sexual well-being' life."
Regular life, sex, and partner companionship can help improve
"Clinically, it has been found that the effectiveness of ED treatment has a significant relationship with whether a partner cooperates or not." During sexual intercourse, sexual partners who regularly satirize, ridicule, tire of, or blame a man for his "incompetence" can add pressure to him and further exacerbate the problem. Therefore, a partner should demonstrate moderate understanding and care, with appropriate encouragement. During male treatment, a partner's care and understanding can help achieve better treatment outcomes. Most people generally believe that frequent sexual intercourse can cause ED, but on the contrary, long-term non sexual intercourse can affect erectile function. Regular sexual activity is conducive to the exchange and metabolism of oxygen in the cavernous body of the penis, thereby helping to improve erectile function.
Regarding the view that "the loss of interest in sexuality in elderly men is simply a natural aging of physical functions", experts have pointed out that decreased sexual frequency is associated with the onset of ED, and many men have not realized that ED and many chronic diseases share a common pathogenesis. "Clinical data show that 50% of ED patients can cause physiological and psychological diseases such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, elevated heart pressure, inferiority, depression, anxiety, etc. within 5 to 10 years after diagnosis. Professional counseling and counseling for psychological disorders can solve sexual confusion and therapeutic barriers! Therefore, ED is a disease related to overall health, and is a vane for men's overall health, which should be paid attention to and vigilant."
Self medication is harmful and targeted treatment is recommended
According to estimates by the Chinese Sexuality Society, the current number of erectile dysfunction patients in China can reach 8 to 10 million. However, due to "being ashamed to speak up", there are still some ED patients who have not taken formal treatment measures, but instead purchase drugs to take them. "Not to mention that informal products may be purchased through informal channels, the use of drugs such as Viagra requires professional diagnosis by a doctor." Patients who are taking nitrates, whether regularly or intermittently, should not take Viagra. In addition, Viagra is not recommended for patients who have experienced myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or stroke. In terms of dosage, patients who are older or have severe liver and kidney damage need to take Viagra in reduced doses.
"Some patients with ED are unwilling to see a doctor, and are accustomed to taking traditional Chinese medicine or health care products on their own, which not only fails to achieve the therapeutic effect, but also may delay the treatment opportunity and be harmful to their health." Currently, the most commonly used treatment for ED is PDE5 inhibitors, commonly known as "Viagra" drugs. "There are two recommended methods for use: one is to take medication on demand, that is, at a certain time during the couple's life (usually half an hour to two hours in advance depending on the medication); the other is to use medication regularly in a long-term small dose, that is, take small doses of medication at a fixed time every day, regardless of whether there is a couple's life." These two methods are applicable to different populations, for young patients after the 1980s who have a high frequency of married life, It is generally recommended to take a long-term low-dose medication, which can reduce the overall dosage and gradually weaken the correlation between treatment medication and illness, which is beneficial for patients to restore confidence. For older patients who still have some marital life, it is generally recommended to take it as needed.
