Patient's question:
I am a 26-year-old male who recently started dating a girlfriend. During sexual activity, I found that I cannot get an erection at all, and even when I do, it doesn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction? Please ask: What are the treatment methods for erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
The causes of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction can be psychological, such as sexual behavior tension, lack of sexual knowledge, sexual anxiety, and disharmony in marital sex life, which can lead to early ejaculation and result in erectile dysfunction. There are also organic causes, commonly seen in conditions like prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and orchitis, among other genital inflammatory conditions. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a regular hospital's urology department for a follow-up examination, identify the underlying cause, and then provide symptomatic treatment for the patient.
