Patient's question:
I was quite busy with work before, working late every night, and both mentally and physically exhausted, so I didn't have any sexual activity. Although I'm only 39, I always feel tired every night and just want to rest, never thinking about that. Now that my life is back to normal, I still can't get an erection, and even when I do, it doesn't last long. What kind of help I'm looking for: What are the causes and treatments for erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
The most common causes of erectile dysfunction are lifestyle factors, abnormal hormone secretion, psychological factors, and prostate diseases. Besides diabetes, hypertension, high blood lipids, and so on, like you who frequently work and overexert yourself, you have personal lifestyle factors. You need to ensure adequate rest time and sufficient deep sleep to gradually recover. Otherwise, even medication may not be stable. If there are other underlying causes, a thorough examination of prostatic fluid, routine hormone secretion, blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipid levels is necessary for a comprehensive evaluation and speculation. In the short term, treatment can involve medications that dilate blood vessels.
