Patient's question:
I'm usually quite busy with work and feel very tired physically. Recently, during sexual activity with my wife, I discovered that I couldn't get an erection, which has also affected our marital relationship. I really feel very distressed. Please ask: How is it better to treat impotence?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction refers to the inability to achieve an effective erection during sexual intercourse, leading to dissatisfaction. It manifests in various forms: the penis cannot achieve an erection under any circumstances; although unable to achieve an erection during sexual arousal, it spontaneously becomes erect during deep sleep, morning erections, or when exposed to erotic stimuli; although able to achieve an erection during sexual arousal, it cannot complete normal intercourse upon insertion into the vagina, or it becomes soft before ejaculation despite insertion. It is divided into four categories: inability to achieve an erection, weak erection, or inability to maintain an erection. Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction have been the most observed male sexual dysfunctions throughout history. It is caused by psychological factors and organic inflammation.
