Is a small and soft erection considered impotence?

Patient's question:

Male, 28 years old. Recently, due to the company being very busy and the urgency to have children, he might have been extremely tense emotionally. Suddenly, he found that he seemed to lack the energy during sexual activity. Sometimes he couldn't even get an erection. Now, he is really suffering from this matter. Please ask: Is it impotence if the erection is not very hard?

Doctor's answer:

If you can get an erection normally during the day and the hardness is sufficient, it proves that your erection function is normal, and it is more likely related to psychological reasons. Sometimes, occasionally not achieving a sufficient erection may be related to environmental, psychological, or other factors. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and relax your mind. If it doesn't improve, you can take herbal medicine to nourish the kidneys and replenish qi. In daily life, you can steep goji berries in tea, eat foods like chives, beef, and lamb, and pay attention to Kegels exercises, which can help with recovery.
