The effort to find a solution for PFS has been made more difficult due to the fact that some medical professionals do not acknowledge that PFS exists.

The issue lies less in the sexual complications (which are more widely reported) and more in the mental/psychological complications. 60% of men in their 60s will encounter erectile dysfunction in their lifetime, which can often be managed with a healthier lifestyle or specific medications. However, the reported cases of anxiety and depression that PFS caused men and women is particularly concerning, and can affect not just the mind but the entire body.
