Patient's question:
I am male, with a history of masturbation. I recently started dating a girlfriend, and during sexual activity, I found that I simply cannot get erect. Even when I do, it doesn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction? Please ask: What are the causes of erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for premature ejaculation, such as: psychological factors; any condition that may lead to increased blood flow to the corpora cavernosa of the penis; surgery or trauma causing damage to the penile blood vessels and nerves, resulting in erectile dysfunction; endocrine disorders, chronic diseases, and long-term use of certain medications; prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and recurrent, long-lasting conditions that do not respond to treatment. It is necessary to examine the sensitivity of the penile dorsal nerves, erectile function, and dynamic blood flow. Based on the examination results, targeted treatment can be effective in addressing the disease. Premature ejaculation is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
