What exactly does sexual dysfunction mean?

Patient's question:

I recently had sex with my girlfriend and always had difficulty achieving ejaculation. Sometimes it was very short, and I would experience premature ejaculation and even nocturnal emissions. At other times, it took a long time to get erect. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said I had sexual dysfunction.

Doctor's answer:

Sexual dysfunction refers to the inability to engage in normal sexual activity or the inability to achieve pleasure during normal sexual activity. Most sexual dysfunctions are non-organic, meaning there are no abnormalities or inflammation in the sexual organs, but rather caused by psychological factors. Therefore, in the field of sexology, they are often referred to as sexual psychological dysfunctions. Finally, during treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, and actively participate in physical exercise.
