Doctor's answer:

Long-term and excessive smoking can indeed lead to erectile dysfunction. This is because long-term smoking causes damage to the vascular endothelium, resulting in the inability of the vascular endothelium in the corpora cavernosa of the penis to effectively engorge. Therefore, erectile function is impaired. Generally, if you smoke no more than 10 cigarettes per day, improving blood circulation and removing blood stasis can help stabilize erectile function. Although erectile dysfunction occurs frequently, the penis can still become erect in the morning or during masturbation and maintain it for a period of time, which is often caused by psychological factors.
