Can impotence recover automatically?

In fact, the occurrence of impotence is not only a health problem for men, but also has a great psychological impact. If impotence occurs due to physical overwork or mood problems, it can be recovered by itself as long as you keep a relaxed attitude and get enough rest. However, if impotence is caused by illness or psychological reasons, it requires targeted treatment to have the possibility of recovery.

Can impotence recover on its own?

It may be erectile dysfunction. There are many causes of erectile dysfunction, such as: psychological factors, excessive masturbation, vascular diseases, prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, hypertension, diabetes, penile sclerosis, etc. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to the hospital's sexual dysfunction specialist for consultation, combined with specialist examinations, to clarify the cause of the disease and condition, and conduct personalized treatment to achieve the ideal treatment effect. In addition, pay attention to relaxing your mood and living a regular life.

Erectile dysfunction can be divided into two main categories: psychological and organic.

Organic factors include neurological, vascular, endocrine and tissue structural factors. In the past, it was believed that 86% to 90% were caused by psychological disorders. In recent years, advanced scientific technology has been used to detect and found that organic erectile dysfunction accounts for more than 505. It is believed that it accounts for 50% to 805. Among patients with erectile dysfunction detected by urology, 49.3% were caused by organic factors. However, it is worth emphasizing that all patients with erectile dysfunction have psychological disorders to varying degrees, and purely psychological erectile dysfunction generally accounts for less than half.

1. Psychological factors affecting erectile function

Due to the differences in psychological qualities of each person, even if they encounter similar mental and psychological stimulation, they may have different reactions. Psychological trauma will not lead to erectile dysfunction for most people, but it may become a causative factor for erectile dysfunction for some people. Common factors include lack of or wrong sex education, such as self-blame and fear of masturbation and ejaculation, and viewing sexual behavior as dirty and obscene.

2. Organic factors affecting erection

Systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease, hypertension), respiratory diseases (pulmonary emphysema, pulmonary insufficiency), endocrine system diseases (hypospadias, cavernous sclerosis), neuropsychiatric diseases (vertebral type, temporal lobe lesions, depression), blood and liver and kidney diseases are risk factors for erectile dysfunction. Spinal cord, pelvic, urethral trauma surgery, drug effects (sedatives, antianxiety drugs, antihypertensive drugs, hormone drugs, etc.), smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse, etc. can all lead to varying degrees of erectile dysfunction.

Key points for diagnosis of impotence

(1) Married men’s penis cannot erect or is weak, which makes them unable to have sex. This is the main clinical manifestation of this disease.

(2) Impotence can be divided into primary and secondary types, and can be divided into organic and functional types. Primary impotence means that the penis has never been able to enter the vagina for sexual intercourse, while secondary impotence means that sexual intercourse has been possible but then problems occur.

Organic impotence is characterized by the inability of the penis to move at any time, neither erection during sexual excitement (such as in sleep and when the bladder is full) nor spontaneous erection; functional impotence has spontaneous erection, but fails to achieve clinical erection.

(3) The disease is mostly caused by psychological factors.

Therefore, patients are in varying degrees of mental states such as tension, fear, depression, anxiety and distress.

(4) Some patients with this disease lack normal sexual knowledge, so it is necessary to ask patients about their sexual life and other issues to find out the cause of the disease.

(5) To exclude functional impotence, other physical signs should be combined to trace the primary disease.
