Patient's question:
When I was dating my first girlfriend, I realized that I might have erectile dysfunction. Over the next six years, I tried many methods, but nothing helped to restore normal function. I was about to give up, but my parents kept urging me to get married and have children. I feel very guilty towards them, and I still want to try treatment again. Where is it best to seek help for erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Do you have symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, or discomfort in the perineum or lumbar-sacral area? Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is divided into two types: congenital and pathological. You need a sexual function test and a detailed 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 and fully understand the condition, further clarification is needed. You should go to a private top-tier three hospital's urology department for a thorough examination. The doctor will base the clinical diagnosis on your symptoms and physical signs, arrange for detailed clinical tests (such as blood and urine tests, sexual function tests, and sexual hormone tests), identify the cause, and then treat it accordingly.
