Patient's question:
I am a male, 29 years old, with a five-year history of masturbation. I recently started dating a girlfriend, and during sexual activity, I found that I simply cannot get an erection. Even when I do, it doesn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction? Please ask: What are the symptoms of male erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. Over time, this condition can also lead to prostate diseases. Men suffering from premature ejaculation should consume more foods that have the effect of tonifying the kidneys and consolidating essence, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, softshell turtles, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys. Lastly, during treatment, patients need to follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
