Patient's question:
I am 42 years old this year, and I usually work quite busy. I also feel very tired physically. Recently, when having sex with my wife, I found that I couldn't get an erection. This has also affected our marital relationship. I really feel very distressed. Please ask: What are the specific symptoms of erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) primarily manifests in the following symptoms:1. The penis cannot achieve full erection or the erection is not firm enough to fully perform normal sexual activity.
2. Young men may experience anxiety and restlessness, accompanied by premature ejaculation, due to insufficient emotional communication with sexual partners or unestablished sexual habits.
3. Occasional premature ejaculation may occur, with completely normal sexual performance during subsequent encounters, which could be due to temporary tension or overexertion and is not considered pathological.
4. Although premature ejaculation occurs frequently, the penis can still become erect in the morning or during sexual activity and maintain it for a period of time, which is often caused by psychological factors.
