Patient's question:
Recently, while having sex with my wife, I experienced the recurrence of erectile dysfunction. Sometimes I would get an erection but then lose it. Am I getting old? But I'm still in my middle age. What is the matter with my penis not being able to get erect, leading to sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction, also known as premature ejaculation, refers to the persistent inability of the penis to achieve an erection for sexual intercourse, or the inability to maintain sufficient hardness to complete sexual intercourse even when the penis is erect. The former is called complete erectile dysfunction, and the latter is called incomplete erectile dysfunction. For patients who cannot achieve an erection, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
