Patient's question:
I am a male, 22 years old, with 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? Please ask: If it becomes soft after insertion for a while, is it still considered erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
If you can get an erection normally during the day and the hardness is acceptable, it proves that your erection function is normal. It is more likely to be related to psychological reasons. Sometimes, occasionally not achieving a sufficient erection may be due to environmental, psychological, and other factors. Do not put too much pressure on yourself and relax your mind. If it does not improve, you can take medication that suits your condition for treatment. You can steep goji berries in tea, supplement with food like chives, beef, and mutton, and pay attention to doing Kegels exercises, which can help with recovery. Patients need to go to a formal, top-tier hospital as soon as possible to undergo systematic and standardized examinations based on their specific condition. This is the only way to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
