Patient's question:
Because of working recently, I haven't been sleeping well at night. It takes me until 1 or 2 a.m. to fall asleep, and even then, I wake up with aching back and shoulders. In the past half month of working, one day I went to a nightclub, and later I found out that I couldn't get an erection. What are the causes of impotence?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction, also known as premature ejaculation, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection when sexually aroused, or the inability to maintain a sufficient level of hardness for an adequate duration of sexual activity, thereby interfering with or preventing the completion of intercourse. Chronic inflammation of the urinary and reproductive organs, which can lead to premature ejaculation, is relatively common, such as orchitis, epididymitis, urethritis, cystitis, and prostatitis. Among these, chronic prostatitis is the most frequent cause of recurrent premature ejaculation.
