Patient's question:
I was 20 years old when I had my first girlfriend and discovered that I seemed to have erectile dysfunction. Over the next three years, I tried many methods but couldn't regain normal function. I was about to give up, but my parents kept urging me to get married and have children. I feel very guilty towards them and still want to try treating it again. Please ask: If I become erect after foreplay, does that still count as erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it generally does not fall under the category of premature ejaculation. It merely indicates that you are quite sensitive and have a strong sex drive, where a little stimulation can lead to an erection. If you experience a limp penis again during normal sexual activity, it is more likely to be considered premature ejaculation. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for examination to identify the cause and seek treatment. During the treatment period, patients should adhere to a balanced diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
