Patient's question:
I have had sexual intercourse for many years. Recently, I got married, but when I have sex with my wife, it's difficult to get erect, and even when I do, it doesn't stay hard for very long. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's premature ejaculation caused by sexual intercourse. Is that correct?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction caused by sexual intercourse is due to long-term frequent penile blood flow and insufficient blood supply to pelvic organs. To maintain a satisfactory erection, approximately 120 milliliters of blood needs to be supplied to the penis per minute. If less than 100 milliliters of blood is supplied to the penis per minute, the erection may become softer. Squatting exercises can strengthen the waist, abdomen, and pelvic muscles; lying on your back and doing sit-ups can strengthen the waist and abdominal muscles; and kegel exercises (repeatedly tightening the muscles around the perineum and anus) can strengthen the pubococcygeus muscle, which is beneficial for shortening a man's ejaculation time.
