There is such a story: After being promoted, a section chief had a lot of social activities and a lot of pressure. His morning erections were normal, but he felt "not good" every time he had sex. He heard that deer whip can aphrodisiac, so he secretly bought one and brewed it with wine. Every time I drink a small cup beforehand, I suddenly feel the glory returns. The wine bottle was quickly empty. In order not to waste the medicinal materials, I took out the deer penis and boiled it before eating it. But when the boiling water melted the outer membrane of the deer penis, it was discovered that the so-called deer penis was actually just a plastic rod! Plastic obviously has no effect on erectile function, but this section chief firmly believes that what he eats is what he eats, and the effect of "fake deer penis" on its aphrodisiac is completely psychological. Therefore, positive self-suggestion can also be regarded as good for the penis. A psychological treatment for ED.

The brain thinks too much and the penis does not perform satisfactorily

In the face of society's fast-paced life and high-intensity competitive pressure, it is normal to have minor erection problems. At this stage, psychological factors play an important role, and most of them are reversible. Zhang Yadong, a doctor in the Urology and Andrology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that according to domestic and foreign literature reports in recent years, psychogenic ED accounts for about half of ED, and the vast majority of ED has varying degrees of psychological factors.

So what exactly is psychogenic ED? Zhang Yadong said that it refers to erectile dysfunction caused by mental and psychological factors such as tension, stress, depression, anxiety, and marital discord. Specifically, these factors include:

Bad feelings about oneself: due to poor figure, self-perception of penis as "short", guilt or panic about masturbation, self-suggestion that masturbation will lead to impotence, etc.;

Bad feelings towards your partner: The relationship between the husband and wife is not harmonious, mutual distrust or suspicion of each other, marital conflicts lead to increasingly disharmonious sexual life, and finally ED appears. (This type of ED only occurs in couples’ sexual life, but does not have this problem with other people)

High work pressure: fatigue, overwork, and too much pressure, and occasionally poor performance, but because the couple handles it improperly, it puts too much negative pressure on the man, so that he gets ED every time.

To cure impotence, the wife needs some tricks

Due to the influence of traditional concepts, Chinese women have less opportunities to receive sex education, and their sexual knowledge is relatively lacking. Some women think that sexual behavior is something obscene and dirty, and usually refuse or do not cooperate in having sex; some women think that sexual behavior is the husband's business, so the husband must be fully responsible for the quality of the sexual life. If there is a fault that causes dissatisfaction, he will blame him.

Director Deng Junhong emphasized that sex life is a matter between two people, and both parties must coordinate and cooperate with each other to achieve happiness. In real life, for example, couples quarrel over some trivial matters in life, and the husband has sex with an unhappy mood, which can also lead to impotence. In addition, due to discord between husband and wife, if the husband has an affair and loses sexual interest in his wife, it will also lead to erection difficulties.

Likewise, in the process of treating impotence, the wife plays a crucial role. Director Deng Junhong once took over an impotence patient. The first few times the results were not very good. After careful inquiry, he learned that during the treatment process of the patient, his wife kept blaming him and complaining that his disease could not be cured. This caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on the husband and worsened his condition.

Director Deng Junhong believes that wives need to give their husbands more positive affirmations, whether they are having sex or their husbands are undergoing treatment. In addition to using words to encourage her husband, the wife should also learn to "make a little trick" on her expression during sex, showing happiness and satisfaction to eliminate her husband's anxiety, impatience and other emotions, and help him build confidence in sex.

"To treat psychogenic impotence, drug treatment alone will definitely not be effective. Patients need to receive psychological counseling at the same time to cure the disease psychologically." Director Deng Junhong emphasized that during the treatment process, it is best for the wife to accompany and participate in the treatment to assist in the treatment. , you should take the initiative to share responsibilities instead of pushing all responsibilities to the husband. This will not only help the husband heal, but also cultivate the sexual relationship between husband and wife.

"Heart disease" still needs "heart medicine" treatment

Psychogenic ED needs to be diagnosed carefully on the premise of excluding organic factors. A netizen once consulted Zhang Yadong online and said that he was preparing for a wedding, but was very distressed. It turned out that he and his girlfriend had tried to have sex when they were living together, but they failed because he was not good enough. Especially, the erection was not as hard as before, and he soon ejaculated prematurely. He worried it was due to masturbating too much in his youth.

He encouraged the patient to come to the clinic and have his various sexual "problems" analyzed in detail. First of all, whether the fluid that comes out of premature ejaculation is really semen, it is probably just a small amount of bulbourethral gland fluid secreted during excitement; secondly, if the erection is usually very hard, but the erection is not hard enough during sex, it is most likely that the woman is nervous and feels uncomfortable. Thirdly, he had the psychological burden of masturbation, but the history of masturbation had little to do with ED; finally, he admitted that he was under greater financial and life pressure due to the preparation for the wedding.

So how to dispel their doubts and confirm that psychological factors are mainly responsible for the diagnosis of psychogenic ED? Zhang Yadong said that exclusionary diagnosis is usually used. Generally, if there are no abnormalities in endocrine (sex hormones), metabolism (blood sugar, blood lipids), and vascular factors (endothelial function, atherosclerosis, etc.), and obvious neuropathy is excluded, and the nocturnal penile erection test is normal, it can be diagnosed as psychogenic. ED. After a comprehensive examination of the young man, no abnormality was found. In view of this result, it indicates that his ED is mainly psychological.
