Patient's question:
Recently, during sexual activity, I have experienced premature ejaculation and difficulty with penile erection. I would like to ask if this indicates a problem with sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction during intercourse. Difficulty achieving an erection is a typical symptom of premature ejaculation. There are many causes of premature ejaculation, such as prostatitis, testicular and epididymal inflammation, frequent sexual activity, internal diseases, and abnormal excretion of sexual hormones, all of which can lead to recurrent premature ejaculation. It is recommended that you first undergo a sexual function examination. The examination should include assessing the sensitivity of the penile dorsal nerve, erection hardness, and dynamic blood flow. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life.
