Patient's question:
I have had the habit of sexual intercourse for almost five or six years. Recently, I have been feeling lower back pain and stiffness. When I am with my girlfriend, my penis cannot quickly get erect, and it takes a long time to get stimulated. The head of my penis is very sensitive, and sexual intercourse is very short. I also don't have morning erections. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, the diagnosis was premature ejaculation. What are the symptoms of impotence?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation refers to the inability to achieve a full erection or maintain a firm erection when sexually aroused, making it impossible to complete normal sexual activity. Normal male sexual function also has physiological fluctuations. When sexual function is affected by factors such as unstable mental or emotional states, fatigue, poor health, or a lack of interest or opposition from the female partner in sexual activity, temporary "premature ejaculation" may occur. This occasional phenomenon should not be considered a pathological condition.
