Patient's question:
I am a male with a history of masturbation. I recently started dating a girlfriend, but during sexual activity, I found that I simply cannot get an erection, and even when I do, it doesn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction? I would like to ask: What could be the reason for my lack of a firm erection?Doctor's answer:
These symptoms are all post-coital syndrome symptoms. It is recommended to abstain from sexual activity and wait for relief. Young people must abstain from sexual activity and allow symptoms to gradually subside. Sexual activity can cause damage to the corpora cavernosa of the penis, leading to increased blood flow, resulting in premature ejaculation. The sensitive corona of the glans can also lead to premature ejaculation. Damage to the urethral sponge can cause difficulty urinating, urinary pain, prostatitis, penile atrophy, shortening, wrinkling, and an aged appearance. Testicular contusion can cause testicular atrophy and discomfort, as well as testicular shrinkage, leading to symptoms such as premature ejaculation, neurasthenia, kidney deficiency, neurosis, and acne. For patients with weak erections, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
