Sexual dysfunction refers to changes in one or more aspects of sexual function—including libido, erection, intercourse, orgasm, and ejaculation—that impair normal sexual activity. These changes may include decreased or increased libido, erectile dysfunction (such as impotence or priapism), ejaculatory disorders (such as premature ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, or anejaculation), and sensory disturbances (such as dyspareunia or painful ejaculation). Sexual dysfunction can be caused by various factors, including psychological factors (such as stress, anxiety, or depression), organic diseases (such as neurological or endocrine disorders), and lifestyle factors (such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or drug abuse). These disorders can negatively affect an individual's physical and mental health, intimate relationships, and daily life. Timely diagnosis and treatment of sexual dysfunction are crucial for restoring normal sexual function and improving quality of life.
