What exactly causes erectile dysfunction?

Patient's question:

Recently, for some reason, when having sex with my wife, I've been finishing in just two minutes, which is not like me before. Because of this, my wife has been complaining quite a lot. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, the result was premature ejaculation. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as premature ejaculation, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection during sexual stimulation, or the inability to maintain a sufficient level of hardness for an adequate duration of sexual activity, thereby interfering with or preventing successful sexual intercourse. ED can be classified into two types: congenital and pathological. The former is rare and difficult to treat, while the latter is more common and has a higher cure rate. ED can be cured, but the treatment process is usually long-lasting, and there is a tendency for it to recur after treatment.
