Patient's question:
I've been married to my wife for two years, and our sex life has always been normal. But recently, I've noticed that sometimes I don't get hard during intimacy, which makes me very unhappy. After a careful check, it turns out to be premature ejaculation. How should erectile dysfunction be treated?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) patients need to change unhealthy lifestyles and comprehensively prevent and treat high-risk factors, such as enhancing exercise, diet, and drugs that can lead to ED. It is important to actively treat primary diseases of diabetes and hypertension. Testosterone replacement therapy can be used for primary testicular diseases caused by insufficient testosterone secretion, or secondary testicular dysfunction due to pituitary or hypothalamic diseases, as well as delayed-onset gonadal dysfunction in middle-aged and elderly patients. ED can be alleviated, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment.
