Patient's question:
I am forty-four years old. I have had a history of sexual activity for over ten years when I was younger. I also have a history of high blood pressure for more than ten years, and I have been on medication for about 15 years. In the past two years, I have noticed a significant decline in my sexual function. It seems to be getting worse every year, and now it is getting worse day by day. Currently, I can only maintain intimacy with my wife, which makes me feel extremely frustrated and depressed. I am wondering how my ED (Erectile Dysfunction) and premature ejaculation are related to my oral blood pressure medication. I think about going back to the hospital for a follow-up, but I don’t know which hospital to go to. I feel very troubled and distressed.Doctor's answer:
