Is erectile dysfunction the same as premature ejaculation?

Patient's question:

There is a long history of sexual activity. Now, there is weak erection, short duration, discomfort during urination, and sometimes a bit of pain during ejaculation. The scrotum is damp, and there is weakness and soreness in the waist and knees. Is the weak erection premature ejaculation?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition is caused by excessive sexual activity. It is recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse and pay attention to rest. Consume more foods that have the effect of tonifying the kidneys and consolidating essence, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, soft-shell turtles, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys. Taking hot water (sitting baths) can be combined with moxibustion on the Guanyuan acupoint, which is quite effective. Erections that are not firm tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical diagnosis promptly and consider treatment based on examination results. It is also important to restrain sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
