Patient's question:
I am a male, 27 years old, with a five-year history of masturbation. Recently, I just started dating a girlfriend, and during sexual activity, I found that I couldn't get an erection at all. Even when I did, it didn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction? Please ask: What are the specific symptoms of erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of premature ejaculation are divided into mild, moderate, and severe. Mild cases are characterized by occasionally being unable to fully complete sexual activity, mostly due to fatigue or tension. Moderate cases involve the penis not being able to fully erect, leading to the inability to normally complete sexual activity or maintaining erection for a period in the morning, mostly caused by psychological factors. Severe cases involve persistent inability to achieve erection, which is considered pathological. It is recommended to develop healthy living habits, have moderate sexual activity, pay attention to rest, maintain a regular schedule, smoke less, drink less beer, exercise more, eliminate psychological obstacles, and avoid excessive stress and tension. Treatment can be implemented based on the severity, and relevant medications can be taken.
