Patient's question:
I am a 30-year-old male. When I had my first girlfriend, I realized that I might have erectile dysfunction. Over the next three years, I tried many methods, but I couldn't recover. I was about to give up, but my parents kept urging me to get married and have children. I feel very guilty towards my parents and still want to try treating it again. Can frequent masturbation lead to erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Frequent sexual activity leads to prolonged congestion in the urinary and reproductive systems, resulting in a decline in local immunity and conditions such as urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Excessive sexual frequency and overstimulation of the sexual nerves can eventually lead to sexual nerve fatigue, causing symptoms like reduced libido, premature ejaculation, and weak erections.Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
