The choice of medication for decreased sexual function depends on the specific cause. If it is caused by organic diseases such as prostatitis, treatment should target the underlying condition, and Chinese herbal medicine can be used as an adjunct. For sexual dysfunction resulting from psychological factors, psychotherapy combined with medication may be used. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Liuwei Dihuang Wan and Complex Xuanju Capsules, which can nourish the kidneys, enrich essence, and enhance sexual function. Medication should be taken under a doctor's guidance to avoid self-medication or overdose. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, a positive mindset, regular exercise, and improving overall physical fitness are also important measures for improving sexual function.
