Patient's question:
I am 41 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 symptoms of erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction refers to the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse, or the inability to complete normal sexual activity, or the inability to insert the penis into the vagina for sexual intercourse. Occasional inability to achieve or maintain an erection due to fatigue, severe illness, anxiety, drunkenness, or other reasons does not constitute a pathological condition. The causes of premature ejaculation are divided into two major categories: organic and psychological. Occasional success in 1-2 sexual encounters does not necessarily mean that premature ejaculation is present. Only when the failure rate of sexual intercourse is less than 25% can it be diagnosed as premature ejaculation.
