Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year, and I usually work quite busy. I also feel very tired physically. Recently, when having sex with my wife, I found that I couldn't get an erection. As a result, our marital relationship has also been affected. I really feel very distressed. Please ask: What is the treatment for symptoms of erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Do you have symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, or discomfort in the perineum or lumbosacral region? Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is divided into two types: congenital and pathological. You need to undergo sexual function testing and thorough sexual hormone examination to diagnose it. Treatment methods include non-hormonal drugs, hormonal drugs (androgens), cavernous anesthesia therapy, and surgical treatment. Due to the inability to conduct a face-to-face examination, a comprehensive understanding of the condition is necessary. To further clarify the diagnosis, you should go to a Class III-A hospital for urological and obstetric examinations. The doctor will base the clinical diagnosis on your symptoms and physical signs, arranging for detailed tests (such as blood and urine tests, sexual function tests, and sexual hormone tests), and then determine the cause before treating it accordingly.
