Patient's question:
Now at night when we have sex, when I first get an erection, it's very hard and large, but after a while, it gradually gets smaller. It's not extremely small, and we can still have sex. It's just not as big as when I first got an erection. What's going on? Also, I'm 25 now. Why hasn't my penis been as big as it was a couple of years ago? It's about 12 cm now, but it used to be 15 cm. What are the symptoms of erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Causes of erectile dysfunction include some factors such as: surgery, trauma leading to damage of penile blood vessels and nerves, resulting in erectile dysfunction; endocrine disorders, chronic diseases, and long-term use of certain medications; chronic prostatitis, recurrent benign prostatic hyperplasia that is difficult to treat; it may also be a special disease—Peyronie's disease, which is characterized by nodular or cord-like plaques on the penis; psychological factors; any disease that may increase blood flow to the penile corpus cavernosum. It is recommended that you visit our andrology department for a follow-up examination. Advanced diagnostic techniques can be used to diagnose the condition, and targeted treatment can completely cure it. Additionally, during the treatment of premature ejaculation, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important.
