Patient's question:
I am a 32-year-old man with over a decade of lower back pain. In recent years, I have experienced premature ejaculation, and I currently have issues with morning erections. What are the relevant diagnostic and treatment measures for these conditions?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of erectile dysfunction, such as: surgery, trauma leading to damage to the blood vessels and nerves of the penis; endocrine disorders, chronic diseases, and long-term use of certain medications; prostatitis; penile plaques; psychological factors; any disease that may cause increased blood flow to the corpus cavernosum of the penis. In terms of prevention, since the onset is related to excessive indulgence, one should cultivate a calm mind, abstain from sexual activity; if it is related to general weakness, malnutrition, or overwork, appropriate nutrition should be enhanced or a balance between rest and activity should be maintained, and sexual desire should be restrained.
