Patient's question:
I am a male, 26 years old, with a five-year history of masturbation. Recently, I just 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 specific symptoms of erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction is a type of sexual dysfunction in men, generally characterized by the recurrence of erectile issues during sexual activity. This specifically manifests as the inability to achieve an erection, an erection that cannot fulfill sexual needs, or an excessively short erection duration. The majority of premature ejaculation is caused by psychological factors. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular routine, take precautions against cold and warmth, consume light and soft foods in their daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
