Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease in orthopedics, which can occur at all ages. Most patients generally experience low back pain first, and after a period of time, they experience leg pain. However, sexual dysfunction issues are rarely mentioned during treatment. In fact, about 20% of patients with impotence have neurological dysfunction, and lumbar disc herniation is one of the causes.
Patients with lumbar disc herniation are often accompanied by lumbar spinal stenosis. Prolonged compression of the protrusion can lead to damage to the nerves innervating the pubis, and muscle weakness at the pelvic outlet, which can affect penis erection and ejaculation, ultimately causing sexual dysfunction.
Nerve damage caused by lumbar disc herniation can lead to abnormalities in erectile function and ejaculatory function at an early stage. Therefore, if there are sexual function problems, after excluding other factors, it is advisable to investigate the lumbar spine.
If there is a problem with the lumbar spine, it is necessary to diagnose it in a timely manner, as the injury will become more serious over time. During treatment, massage should be used sparingly, and pelvic traction and lumbar fixation should be given priority in a timely manner. For lumbar disc herniation that has recurred more than three times, especially those with worsening symptoms after recurrence, massage should not be used. Surgical removal of the intervertebral disc for decompression can be considered, which not only plays a key role in the lumbar spine, but also in the recovery of sexual function.
How to recuperate men with sexual dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction refers to impotence, premature ejaculation, ejaculation, oligospermia, sexual apathy, and infertility. The vast majority of them are functional, and attention should be paid to dietary conditioning while using comprehensive treatment methods.
1. Eat more high-quality protein. High quality protein mainly refers to various animal foods, such as chicken, duck, fish, lean meat, and eggs, which can provide various amino acids required for human sperm production. Some animal sex foods themselves contain some sex hormones, which are beneficial for improving libido and the production of semen and sperm.
2. Appropriate intake of fat. Research shows that women who have been vegan for a long time delay their menarche age, reduce estrogen secretion, lower libido, and affect reproductive ability. Due to reduced intake of essential fatty acids in men, sperm production is restricted, sexual desire decreases, and even infertility occurs.
3. Supplement vitamins and trace elements. Studies have shown that vitamins a and e are related to maintaining sexual function and delaying aging. They play a decisive role in promoting testicular development, increasing sperm production, and improving their vitality. Vitamin C also has a positive effect on the recovery of sexual function, and it is present in fruits such as fresh jujube, hawthorn, green pepper, and tomato.
Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to regulating this type of disease from the perspective of diet. It is believed that sparrows, walnuts, dog meat, and shrimp have the effects of nourishing yang, kidney, and essence. Patients with sexual dysfunction may wish to consume more of these foods. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also believes that foods that damage the essence and yang, and are not conducive to sexual function, such as crude cottonseed oil, pig brain, sheep brain, rabbit meat, black fungus, winter melon, water chestnut, and almonds, should be used with caution.
