Patient's question:
I am a male, 22 years old, with a 5-year history of masturbation. I recently 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: Is it considered erectile dysfunction if the penis becomes erect but lacks hardness?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is preliminarily considered that it is not premature ejaculation, but rather caused by frequent sexual activity. In your case, you can first try to adjust through self-care and regulation. It is recommended to actively exercise your body, engage in aerobic activities such as running and swimming, learn about Kegels and abdominal exercises, eat more aphrodisiac foods like chives and beef, maintain a regular diet and lifestyle, and correct any bad habits. Ensure deep and sufficient sleep. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular routine, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase daily exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
