Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask, when my partner and I perform the pre-sex actions before intimacy, my penis cannot get erect, or it can get erect but is not hard, and remains soft from the beginning to the end. What could be the reason for this? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a variety of different reasons, such as aging and weakness leading to insufficient yang energy, psychological factors, endocrine factors, and more. Don’t get anxious—occasional erectile issues are not a disease. Relax your mind, communicate with your wife to strengthen your bond, and it will return to normal quickly. Avoid spicy, stimulating foods, alcohol, and other foods that harm the prostate. If it hasn’t improved, seek a thorough medical examination at a hospital. For patients with erectile dysfunction, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sex life in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
