Patient's question:
I've been under a lot of work pressure lately. It's been a long time since I've had a proper meal at home and spent quality time with my wife. Finally, I've managed to finish this busy period, but I'm feeling a bit unwell. My wife has also been complaining that she can't get pregnant and insists on accompanying me for a thorough check-up. The result? I was diagnosed with erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. She says it's male infertility. But does it count as infertility?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation can interfere with male fertility. The harm of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation can be divided into mild, moderate, and severe stages. For mild cases, the common symptom is a weak erection, which can still complete sexual activity. However, the patient's physical condition is not in a healthy state at this time, and the quality of sperm is poor, making it unable to ensure the birth of healthy offspring. For severe cases, it is impossible to complete sexual intercourse, which prevents sperm from reading and combining with eggs, thus hindering the successful completion of the delivery process and ultimately affecting fertility.
