What exactly is erectile dysfunction?

Patient's question:

I am in the following situation. For example, it was normal yesterday, but suddenly it appeared again today. I have had sexual intercourse habits before, but they are not very frequent. Often, there are still many erections. Could this situation be related to the pituitary gland? I am very afraid of a pituitary tumor. I would like to consult about what is going on with premature ejaculation?

Doctor's answer:

Erectile dysfunction can be considered a functional issue with penile blood flow circulation in clinical diagnosis. From a clinical perspective, premature ejaculation is essentially a form of erectile dysfunction. An increase in penile blood flow leads to an inability to maintain an erection. Enhanced blood flow in the deep veins or accelerated inflow can cause an increase in penile blood volume, resulting in improved rigidity and volume during erection. Generally, enhancing penile blood flow helps control premature ejaculation. Pituitary tumors are primarily a concern regarding prolactin production, which can then lead to poor erections.
