Patient's question:
I am 25 years old and have had a sexual history of 7-8 years. In the past year, I have restrained myself a lot and had very little sexual activity, but this situation has not improved. Morning erections have become rare, and while I can get an erection with stimulation, it lasts for a very short time and becomes soft immediately without stimulation. There have been many times when I didn't even get hard and still ejaculated. Besides the foreskin issue, when I am not erect, the entire glans is covered, but when I am erect, the glans can be fully exposed. I don't know if this could be affecting anything. I am very troubled by this. Is this situation serious? How should it be treated? What kind of examinations should I do at the hospital? I feel a bit embarrassed to go to the hospital to see a doctor, so I wanted to ask a doctor online first.Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction refers to a man's inability to achieve or maintain an erection during sexual activity, or the inability to complete normal sexual intercourse, or the inability to insert the penis into the vagina to engage in sexual intercourse. It can be addressed through dietary supplements such as dog meat, mutton, chives, and loach, or with medications like Shenbao or Shenqi pills. For patients with premature ejaculation, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medical treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
