Patient's question:
My husband has been suffering from erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation since last year. He has been taking medication to manage it. He keeps going to the bathroom at night, which makes it hard for me to sleep. But it seems like his condition hasn't improved despite the treatment. What are the methods?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction, also known as premature ejaculation, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection during sexual arousal, or the inability to sustain an erection of sufficient hardness for a sufficient duration during intercourse, thereby hindering sexual activity or preventing it from being completed successfully. Chronic inflammation of the urinary and reproductive organs, such as orchitis, epididymitis, urethritis, cystitis, and prostatitis, often leads to premature ejaculation, with chronic prostatitis being the most common cause. It is recommended that you consult a hospital to undergo tests such as sexual nerve sensitivity tests, erectile function tests, and other detailed examinations related to sexual function, based on your specific condition.
