Can impotence affect future childbearing?

Patient's question:

I am 40 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. As a result, our marital relationship has also been affected. I really feel very distressed. Please ask: Can impotence affect having children in the future?

Doctor's answer:

Ejaculatory dysfunction is primarily due to the inability to complete sexual intercourse successfully, failing to fertilize the egg, which makes it difficult for the woman to conceive, but it does not necessarily qualify as infertility. Men with Ejaculatory dysfunction may have normal semen and sperm, but they fail to reach the goal of fertilizing the egg because they cannot complete sexual intercourse successfully. In contrast, men with infertility often have normal sexual function but cannot fertilize the egg due to abnormal semen or the absence of sperm. Therefore, they can still have children. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
