1. Scientific lifestyle adjustment: Maintain regular sleep patterns and avoid staying up late; engage in moderate exercise to enhance cardiopulmonary function and pelvic floor muscle strength; eat a balanced diet rich in high-quality protein and vitamins; quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption to reduce adverse effects on sexual function such as obesity and fatigue.
2. Optimize psychological state: Maintain emotional stability, reduce anxiety, stress, and depressive feelings, and strengthen communication and mutual trust between partners to prevent issues such as reduced libido or erectile difficulties caused by psychological factors.
3. Practice healthy intimate behaviors: Respect each other's consent, avoid excessive frequency or rough intimacy, emphasize foreplay and aftercare, reduce the risk of genital injury and infections, and enhance mutual satisfaction.
4. Timely management of underlying diseases: Actively treat chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, control progression to prevent nerve and blood vessel damage, and use medications appropriately to avoid those that may impair sexual function.
5. Seek professional medical help when needed: For issues such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation, avoid self-medicating. Instead, undergo proper evaluation and diagnosis under a doctor’s guidance, and receive targeted treatments such as medication or rehabilitation training.
It is important to maintain good genital hygiene in daily life, avoid unclean contact to prevent inflammation, maintain a moderate frequency of sexual activity—neither excessive nor overly restrictive—and adjust exercise and dietary plans according to individual needs to support overall physical and mental health, thereby promoting better sexual well-being.
