Patient's question:
I have been under a lot of mental stress recently. My wife hasn't been paying attention to me, which has put a lot of psychological pressure on me. As a result, I am now experiencing some symptoms of premature ejaculation, and I'm very worried they might become severe. I'm also concerned that this could strain our family relationships. What are the causes of erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction 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. This is related to various factors, including mental and psychological factors (neurasthenia, marital discord, work stress, emotions, etc.), chronic prostatitis, phimosis, frequent sexual intercourse, overly frequent sexual activity, overly sensitive sexual nerves, endocrine abnormalities, excessive frequency of sexual intercourse, or other organic diseases. Additionally, it can also be related to drug interactions.
