Patient's question:
Director, I was diagnosed with prostatitis last month. The main symptom is erectile dysfunction. I have a long history of sexual activity. I have been taking medication for a month, and although I feel stronger now, there is still a difference compared to before. Previously, I could get an erection just by thinking about it, but now although I can still get an erection, it's not as spontaneous as before. How is erectile dysfunction caused by prostatitis treated?Doctor's answer:
In normal males after puberty, the glans is fully or mostly exposed. If the glans cannot be exposed, the foreskin still tightly covers the full or most of the glans, but the foreskin can be retracted manually or the glans can be exposed when the foreskin retracts after erection, this is called phimosis. The hazards of phimosis include: obstructing penile growth and development, causing penile inflammation, endangering kidney function, affecting women's health, and posing a risk of carcinogens. It is recommended to clean the external genitalia daily and keep them dry at all times. If inflammation frequently recurs, it is advisable to undergo circumcision at a regular hospital.
