Patient's question:
I recently experienced a lack of energy and pleasure during sexual activity with my partner, and when I wanted to have sex, I often struggled with a long-lasting but weak erection. Is this a sexual dysfunction? Is sexual desire and sexual intercourse disorder a symptom of sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
The penis cannot become erect, or the erection is not firm or lasts too long, or it cannot complete normal sexual life smoothly, or the penis cannot even insert into the vagina to have sexual intercourse. Premature ejaculation is also known as "impotence" and is the most common male sexual dysfunction. Occasional 1~2 successful sexual encounters do not necessarily indicate premature ejaculation. Only when the failure rate during sexual intercourse is below 25% can it be diagnosed as premature ejaculation. The condition of male diseases is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
