Patient's question:
About one and a half months ago, I was unable to get an erection during coitus, and it has persisted until now. In the past half month, I have sought treatment from traditional Chinese medicine, but there has been no improvement. Is it considered impotence if I cannot get an erection during coitus?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of abnormal penile cavernous congestion, it is recommended to undergo a thorough examination of penile cavernous and penile arterial and venous blood flow at a reputable public hospital to further clarify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. In daily life, brewing goji berries in tea, consuming dietary supplements such as Chinese chives, beef, and mutton, and practicing Kegels can help with recovery. During treatment, patients should adhere to a regulated diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and focus on regulating physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
