How is male sexual dysfunction diagnosed and treated?

Sexual dysfunction is a common clinical problem. Many men may encounter sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction does not refer to a single disease, so it should be taken seriously and treatment measures should be taken in time. However, before treatment, it needs to be professionally examined and diagnosed to confirm the condition and severity before medication can be used. So how is male sexual dysfunction diagnosed and treated?

1. Male sexual dysfunction can be diagnosed based on clinical manifestations and clinical tests. There are many ways to test male sexual dysfunction, and currently the main ones are: First, nighttime erectile function test: a test of erectile hardness. If there is no erection, a nighttime erectile function test is required to induce an erection through iatrogenic means; second, ultrasound examination, specifically to check penile blood flow, to see if ED is caused by arteriovenous fistula or congenital arteriovenous lesions.

2. Male sexual dysfunction is divided into two types, one is premature ejaculation, and the other is erectile dysfunction. For premature ejaculation, psychological adjustment is needed for the patient to adjust the patient's mental state, and corresponding drugs can also be used for auxiliary treatment. For erectile dysfunction, if it is psychogenic, psychological adjustment should be done for the patient, and if it is organic, it should be treated through surgery.

3. The term "male sexual dysfunction" is rather general, because there are many types of male sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, ejaculation disorder, decreased libido, orgasm disorder, etc. In fact, it is divided into many types, and treatment plans need to be selected according to different types. For example, erectile dysfunction, which we usually call impotence or ED in Western medicine, is generally treated with drugs. The treatment of patients with premature ejaculation is also mainly based on drug treatment. For most sexual dysfunctions, there are generally some common methods in terms of treatment plans. For example, most people may have to go through some psychological adjustments, behavioral therapy, and then transition to drug treatment. A small number of patients may also need surgical treatment.
