Patient's question:
I am a male, 22 years old, and have had a 5-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 get an erection, it doesn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction? Also, could you please explain what causes a swollen perineum with erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
The swelling in the perineum you mentioned is highly likely to be due to prostatitis. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital to test prostatic fluid for a clear diagnosis and receive standardized medication treatment. During this period, your diet should be based on light foods, and you should avoid spicy and irritating foods. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Enhance physical exercise to significantly improve immunity. In daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise their bodies, and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate recovery speed.
