A Comprehensive Review Of The Performance Of Sexual Dysfunction
Jun 27, 2025
Sexual dysfunction is not uncommon in daily life, and its manifestations are diverse, causing many troubles for patients.
Erectile dysfunction is one of the common symptoms, also known as impotence. During sexual activity, the patient's penis is unable to erect or the hardness of the erection is insufficient, making it difficult to insert into the vagina; Or during sexual activity, the penis may suddenly become flaccid. Imagine encountering such embarrassment during intimate moments, which undoubtedly brings a heavy blow to men's self-esteem and can also affect the relationship between partners. According to data, about 52% of males aged 40-70 suffer from varying degrees of erectile dysfunction, and this proportion continues to increase with age.
Premature ejaculation is also distressing, referring to ejaculation before or shortly after the penis is inserted into the vagina, which cannot meet the normal duration of sexual activity. Some men ejaculate for miles without even starting to insert, which not only makes it difficult for themselves to fully enjoy themselves, but also fails to provide their partners with a pleasant experience. According to relevant surveys, about 20-30% of adult males suffer from premature ejaculation, which seriously affects the quality of sexual life and marital relationships.

Reduced libido is also a manifestation of poor sexual function. The patient's interest in sexual activity has significantly decreased, and even shows no response to their partner's sexual suggestions, often avoiding intimate contact. Couples who used to love each other may gradually become distant due to one party's decreased sexual desire, leading to conflicts. According to research, women are prone to decreased libido during postpartum and menopausal periods, while men are more likely to experience high work pressure and prolonged staying up late.
Uncovering the mastermind behind sexual dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction does not appear out of thin air; it has complex underlying causes, such as unhealthy lifestyle habits, chronic diseases, psychological stress, etc., which may be the "culprits" that lead to sexual dysfunction.
Chronic erosion of unhealthy lifestyle habits
In the fast-paced modern life, staying up late seems to have become the norm for many people. But did you know that long-term staying up late can cause significant damage to sexual function? The body is like a sophisticated instrument, and all organs need sufficient rest and repair at night. Staying up late can disrupt the body's biological clock and affect hormone secretion, especially testosterone and other male hormones. Research has shown that men who stay up late for a long time will experience a significant decrease in testosterone levels, leading to problems such as decreased libido and erectile dysfunction.

Alcohol abuse is also a major enemy of sexual function. After alcohol enters the human body, it has an inhibitory effect on the nervous system. In the early stages, drinking alcohol may make people feel excited, but this excitement is short-lived, and then they enter a state of inhibition. Long-term heavy drinking can seriously affect the central nervous system, interfere with the transmission of sexual excitement, and lead to erectile dysfunction. At the same time, alcohol can also damage liver function, reduce the inactivation ability of estrogen, increase estrogen in the body, further counteract androgens, and affect sexual function. Data shows that 50% of alcoholics suffer from sexual dysfunction, and less than half of them can recover their sexual function after quitting drinking.
Smoking can also have negative effects on sexual function. The harmful substances such as nicotine and tar in tobacco can cause blood vessels to constrict, reduce arterial blood flow during penile erection, and prevent the penis from fully erect. Long term smoking may also lead to arteriosclerosis of the corpus cavernosum of the penis, increasing the risk of erectile dysfunction. Related studies have found that smoking men have a nearly 50% higher risk of developing erectile dysfunction compared to non-smoking men.
The Hidden Threat of Chronic Diseases
Some chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease, may also quietly affect sexual function. Hypertensive patients, due to long-term elevated blood pressure, can cause damage to endothelial cells, reduced vascular elasticity, narrowed lumens, and affect the blood supply to the penis. Penile erection requires sufficient blood perfusion, and once the blood supply is insufficient, erectile dysfunction may occur. Studies have shown that about 30% -70% of hypertensive patients experience varying degrees of sexual dysfunction.
Diabetes is also a common cause of sexual dysfunction. High blood sugar can damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to neuropathy and vascular disease. Damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the corpus cavernosum of the penis can affect erectile function. At the same time, diabetes also affects hormone levels, leading to decreased testosterone secretion, further aggravating sexual dysfunction. According to statistics, the probability of erectile dysfunction in patients with diabetes is 2-5 times that of normal people.

In patients with coronary heart disease, due to coronary atherosclerosis, the blood supply to the heart is insufficient, and the blood circulation of the body will also be affected. Penile erection requires good blood circulation support, and when there are problems with blood circulation, sexual function will naturally be affected.
The 'invisible shackles' of psychological pressure
In the fast-paced modern life, people face various pressures such as work pressure, life pressure, economic pressure, etc. Being in a high-pressure state for a long time can easily lead to psychological problems such as anxiety and depression, which are the "invisible killers" of sexual function.
Anxiety can lead to sympathetic nervous system excitation, causing blood vessels to contract, affecting the blood supply to the penis, and ultimately causing erectile dysfunction. Meanwhile, anxiety can also cause fear and worry about sexual behavior, reducing libido. Studies have shown that the incidence of erectile dysfunction in patients with anxiety disorders is 40% -50%, which is 2-3 times higher than that of the general population.
Depression can affect the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine, which play important regulatory roles in sexual function. When neurotransmitters are imbalanced, it can lead to problems such as decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. In addition, depression can cause people to lose interest in life, including sexual activity, further exacerbating sexual dysfunction.

With the development of modern science, the principle of improving sexual function by Cistanche deserticola has gradually been revealed. Research has found that Cistanche deserticola contains various active ingredients, such as total phenylethanolic glycosides, polysaccharides, alkaloids, etc. These ingredients work together and play an important role in improving sexual function.
Cistanche can promote blood circulation, especially by increasing blood perfusion to the corpus cavernosum of the penis. Penile erection relies on a sufficient blood supply. Cistanche deserticola dilates blood vessels, improves hemorheological properties, and enables the penis to quickly become engorged and erect under sexual stimulation, effectively alleviating erectile dysfunction. Related experiments have shown that after taking extracts of Cistanche deserticola, the blood flow of the corpus cavernosum of the penis in experimental animals significantly increases, and erectile function is significantly improved.
Cistanche can also regulate the levels of sex hormones. It can promote the secretion of pituitary gonadal hormones and increase the levels of male hormones such as testosterone in the body. Testosterone is an important hormone that maintains male sexual and reproductive function, and an increase in its level helps to enhance libido, improve erectile function, and sperm quality. Clinical studies have found that some patients with sexual dysfunction have significantly increased testosterone levels and improved sexual function after taking Cistanche deserticola preparations.
The active ingredients in Cistanche deserticola also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can alleviate oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions in the reproductive system and protect the normal function of reproductive organs. Long term oxidative stress and inflammation can damage the nerves and blood vessels of the corpus cavernosum of the penis, leading to sexual dysfunction. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Cistanche deserticola can effectively prevent and improve this damage.
