Patient's question:
I haven't been feeling well recently, feeling sore all over and extremely weak. I didn't know what to do, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found out I have erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Ever since hearing this news, I've been feeling very low for a while. Recently, I feel like I have erectile dysfunction—how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction, also known as premature ejaculation, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse, or the inability to maintain an erection long enough to complete a satisfactory sexual experience. Male sexual dysfunction includes decreased libido, dysfunction of sexual climax and ejaculation, and dysfunction of penile flaccidity. Among these, erectile dysfunction is the most common form of male sexual dysfunction. For patients with premature ejaculation, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall physical health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and pay more attention to self-care in daily life.
