Patient's question:
For the past four or five years, I've had difficulty getting erections, and even when I do, they're not as hard as before. Ejaculation is quick, and my libido has decreased. My scrotum feels a bit cool, but it's not swollen. Is this due to kidney deficiency from aging, an issue with my sexual function, or perhaps excessive sexual activity when I was younger? By the way, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital for my prostate, and they said it's slightly enlarged. Could this be causing the problem? I haven't had any other detailed tests done. Could any doctors please help me understand this?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is an important organ in men. Once the prostate encounters problems again, it will definitely interfere with male sexual function. Prostate hyperplasia can lead to prostatitis, and prostatitis can cause premature ejaculation, sexual dysfunction, etc. The interference of prostate enlargement on sexual life can be stabilized by controlling the symptoms caused by prostate hyperplasia, thereby improving the patient's sexual quality of life. Premature ejaculation can be treated, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment and proper medication are essential. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
