Patient's question:
Got married for several years, never used contraception, and still haven't had children. After examination, it was found that I have erectile dysfunction. What are the common treatments for erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction refers to the inability to achieve or maintain sufficient erection to engage in satisfactory sexual activity. Specifically, it means the hardness of the erection is insufficient to penetrate the vagina or the duration of the erection is not long enough to complete sexual intercourse satisfactorily. There are three specific cases: first, weak erection; second, fatigue during intercourse. There are many ways to check for premature ejaculation, and the specific examination is targeted based on individual conditions. Common examinations include: male secondary sexual characteristics, pain, touch, and temperature sensation in the lower limbs, perineum, and penis; the size, shape, and any abnormalities of the penis and foreskin; the size, texture, and varicocele of the testicles; the size, texture, presence of nodules and tenderness of the prostate; and sex hormones.
