Patient's question:
When I was dating my first girlfriend, I realized that I might have erectile dysfunction. Over a period of 3 years, I tried many methods but couldn't regain normal function. I was about to give up, but my parents kept urging me to get married and have children. I feel very guilty towards them and still want to try treatment again. Please ask: Can a soft erection be considered erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you resolve your doubts. Thank you for your detailed description. I can further analyze and judge your situation, and I appreciate your narrative! Now, let's make an initial assessment of your condition. Considering that you have experienced frequent sexual activity in the past, which may have led to kidney essence deficiency and premature ejaculation, and you mentioned damp-heat in the scrotum, it suggests damp-heat. Yin deficiency generates heat, while yang deficiency generates cold, so it's more likely that you have yang deficiency and feel cold. Thirst may also be due to imbalances in yin and yang endocrine and the disruption of yin and yang nourishing the body. Therefore, the doctor's health guidance is for reference only. For patients, if the condition of weak erection is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of weak erection. In addition, patients should also pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
