Patient's question:
With a long history of masturbation, I recently started dating a girlfriend. During sexual activity, I found that I simply couldn't get an erection, and even when I did, it didn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction? Please ask: How can one treat weak erections?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, you may have sexual dysfunction, which could be caused by conditions such as chronic prostatitis. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital for a follow-up examination. After a thorough check-up and diagnosis, active treatment should be pursued. Generally, tests such as color Doppler ultrasound and prostatic fluid analysis are required. Erections that are not firm are prone to recurrence, and long-term medication is often necessary. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, it is advisable to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
