Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for over ten years, and we have two children. Our sex life has always been quite harmonious, with us having sex about twice a week, enjoying each other. However, last week, for some unknown reason, I suddenly lost my erection and couldn't perform even after trying a few times. The doctor told me it's premature ejaculation, and I want to know what causes premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction is commonly caused by the following two factors:1. Cardiovascular diseases: Erections are achieved through blood filling the corpus cavernosum. When men suffer from cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension or high blood lipids, it can lead to impaired penile congestion, resulting in premature ejaculation.
2. Endocrine and inflammatory conditions: This primarily includes prostate diseases and other glandular issues, as well as urological and perinatal diseases. These factors can affect the human endocrine system, thereby influencing the concentration of hormones such as testosterone in the body, leading to difficulties in achieving erections.
