In the past, there was no consensus on the age division of middle-aged and elderly people. To enhance scientific accuracy, this book adopts the internationally recognized standard: middle age is defined as 40-60 years old, and old age as over 60 years old. In China, men at the age of 40 are almost all settled down in their careers and families. The vast majority of middle-aged men have sexual experience and adaptability. Psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) in middle-aged people compared to young people develops slowly, insidiously, and without a clear cause. However, certain factors that affect young people also play a role in middle-aged individuals, such as alcoholism. How can we make ED men "hard" again?
Hospital authoritative experts talk about: key points for the prevention and treatment of ED and clinical treatment misconceptions
The treatment of ED should be handled differently based on the severity of the condition. The most critical point is to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment accordingly. For those with organic diseases, the underlying disease should be treated. However, there are many technical and cognitive defects and misconceptions in clinical prevention, treatment, and health care, making the treatment of ED more confusing and difficult. These issues must be corrected in the treatment:
1. Treating insufficient hardness as ED. Some men in clinical practice are not suffering from ED but only have relatively insufficient hardness, yet some doctors diagnose them with ED and subject them to various treatments, which instead harm normal sexual function. Experts explain that insufficient hardness is related to various factors such as sexual intensity, frequency, mental status, prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, etc., and it does not necessarily mean ED. If treated as ED, it cannot solve the fundamental problem and may damage normal sexual function.
2. Treating any lack of erection as ED. Temporary or occasional lack of erection is often related to psychological factors or changes in the environment. It is generally temporary and can be restored with moderate adjustment; it should not be treated as ED. Many cases of misdiagnosis and mistreatment occur in clinical practice, harming sexual function and leading to genuine ED.
3. Not differentiating types or causes in clinical treatment. For confirmed cases of ED, personalized treatment based on different types and causes is necessary for effective results. However, many hospitals do not differentiate types or causes in treatment, increasing the difficulty of treating ED and delaying the best treatment opportunity.
4. Most treatments only address symptoms, not root causes. Many current treatments can provide temporary relief but cannot fundamentally treat ED or restore sexual function. This is related not only to the treatment technology itself but also to inappropriate treatment, causing overall difficulties in ED treatment.
5. Actively preventing and treating urogenital system diseases. Sexual dysfunction diseases are often progressive and closely related to urogenital system diseases, such as prostatitis, urethritis, phimosis, balanitis, etc. Prevention and treatment of these diseases should be valued to avoid affecting sexual function, leading to premature ejaculation or ED.
6. Paying attention to early signs of sexual dysfunction. When experiencing early signs of sexual dysfunction, such as poor sexual performance or lack of strength, it is important to find the cause and take measures actively. This is a crucial moment for treating ED and premature ejaculation. If not effectively treated at this stage, the condition will worsen, making subsequent treatment more challenging.
7. Avoiding the random use of aphrodisiacs and kidney tonics. In daily life or when occasionally experiencing premature ejaculation or other sexual dysfunctions, one should avoid randomly using aphrodisiacs or kidney tonics. The ingredients of these products are unclear, and some contain hormones or other chemical components. Improper use can worsen the condition, and even healthy individuals may develop sexual dysfunction if used long-term.
In recent years, due to improper treatment of reproductive system diseases, premature ejaculation, and patient prevention misconceptions, the incidence of ED has continued to rise. Diseases such as prostatitis should be actively treated, and appropriate and standardized treatment should be conducted when premature ejaculation occurs. For those who already have ED, treatment should be scientifically and normatively based on the actual type of ED and pathological factors, avoiding blind treatment methods that apply one approach to different types, making clinical ED treatment more difficult.
