Patient's question:
Just recently, for several consecutive days, I had sex, but later when I was with my girlfriend trying to have sex, I just couldn't get hard. The more I was in a hurry, the less responsive I became. Before, it was always normal. What should I do? Am I suffering from premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) primarily manifests in the following symptoms:1. The penis cannot achieve full erection or the erection is not firm enough to fulfill normal sexual activity.
2. Young men may experience anxiety and irritability, along with ED, due to insufficient emotional communication with sexual partners or poor sexual behavior habits.
3. Occasionally, ED may recur, but normal sexual function returns during subsequent encounters. This may be due to temporary tension or overexertion and does not necessarily indicate a pathological condition.
4. Although ED may occur frequently, the condition is not necessarily severe. Patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment based on a doctor's recommendation. It is also important to pay attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
