Erectile dysfunction, or sexual weakness, can be caused by a multitude of factors. As Kyrbashev noted, the causes can include psychological stress, bad habits, various diseases, hormonal imbalances, as well as age-related changes.
In the early stages, most patients can receive help, depending on the reasons that led to the problem. In young men, this is most often related to psychological factors caused by stress and a fast-paced lifestyle.
"With age, the causes become physiological, including age-related changes and accompanying diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Most often, young men seek help for sexual issues, where no physiological disorders are found upon examination—only psychological factors," Kyrbashev added.
In such cases, urologists provide primary psychological support and prescribe medications that stimulate libido and sexual desire. If the prescribed methods do not yield results, the patient is referred to a psychologist.
According to the doctor, many young people prefer to discuss men's health issues with friends or older acquaintances. However, when it comes to intimate topics, it is best to consult a urologist.
Urologists deal not only with men's health issues but also with problems related to the urinary system, so they can be consulted at any age.
Additionally, the doctor noted that teenagers most often come to urologists with complaints about varicocele, a condition in which the veins of the testicles become enlarged. It is important for adolescents to pay attention to the size of their testicles, as this condition can lead to atrophy and, ultimately, infertility.
