Sexual dysfunction falls into two main categories: functional and organic. The first step is to accurately determine whether the patient has sexual dysfunction, followed by identifying the specific category and the precise location of pathological damage. Professional testing methods can precisely diagnose sexual dysfunction and assess its severity. Patients can also make a preliminary judgment based on their own symptoms.
Methods for Assessing Sexual Dysfunction
1. Erection Measurement: Penile erection assessment not only helps patients determine erectile capability but also precisely evaluates the degree of erection, holding significant clinical value for diagnosing and treating sexual dysfunction.
2. Penile Blood Flow Measurement: Using a penile Doppler ultrasound blood flow detector, the physician places the ultrasound probe on the penile shaft to measure blood flow volume and velocity with high precision. This data serves as a reference for assessing sexual dysfunction, obtained through methods like spontaneous erection or medication-induced erection.
3. Sex Hormone Level Measurement: Precise measurement of hormone levels within the patient's body assists physicians in identifying the causes of sexual dysfunction.
5. Ejaculation Function Assessment: A specialized test where the patient is manually stimulated to orgasm and ejaculation. Physicians evaluate pathological issues in ejaculation function based on the patient's responses and descriptions.
6. Sexual Psychology Testing: Conducted by professional psychologists to assess whether sexual psychological disorders exist, thereby helping determine the causes of sexual dysfunction.
As work pressures intensify, many men—particularly middle-aged individuals—increasingly experience sexual dysfunction. This condition is often deeply embarrassing for men, causing significant psychological distress. Preventing sexual dysfunction begins with mindful dietary choices. So, which foods can help avoid sexual dysfunction?
