Patient's question:
Recently, because the company has been very busy and I am eager to have a child, I have been extremely tense emotionally. Suddenly, I realized that I seem to lack energy during sexual activity, sometimes even unable to get an erection. I am really suffering from this issue. Please ask: What causes erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction refers to a condition where a man cannot achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse, or where the erection cannot be sustained long enough to complete normal sexual activity, or where the penis cannot even enter the vagina for sexual intercourse. Based on the underlying mechanisms, it can be classified into four categories: psychological factors, organic disease factors, and iatrogenic factors. Among these, psychological factors are the most common cause. Adjusting one's mindset, building confidence in self-healing, restricting sexual activity, and implementing targeted treatment for organic diseases that may cause premature ejaculation generally yields satisfactory results. The condition of premature ejaculation tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. It is also important to restrict sexual activity, maintain a positive mood, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
