Patient's question:
How to treat impotence and premature ejaculation in the elderly? As I get older, I rarely have sexual intercourse with my wife. I notice that even once a month is rare when I can get erect, and it always becomes soft instantly. How can the elderly treat impotence and premature ejaculation effectively?Doctor's answer:
Psychological factors in the elderly account for about half of sexual dysfunctions. In organic erectile dysfunction, psychological factors also interfere, making it crucial to eliminate these psychological obstacles, which requires negotiation between both partners. Older adults need to understand that physical aging does not necessarily mean a decline or loss of sexual desire or the ability to achieve orgasm. Maintaining regular sexual activity in older adults can stimulate the excretion of androgens, slow down the aging of sexual organs, and increase metabolism. For patients with premature ejaculation, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition.
