What should I do if my penis cannot get erect?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, what should I do if I can't get an erection? What are the reasons for this? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

It should be erectile dysfunction (ED), and there are many causes of ED, such as: psychological factors; any disease 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 ED; endocrine disorders, chronic diseases, and long-term use of certain medications; recurrent and persistent prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia that does not respond to treatment; or it may be a special condition—penile plaques, which is characterized by nodular or cord-like lesions on the penis. It is recommended to consult the sexual function department of a regular hospital to identify the cause so that appropriate measures can be taken for treatment.
