Patient's question:
I am a 24-year-old male, and I have had problems since I started having sex. The first time, I couldn't get hard, and I don't know why. It would only get slightly erect but not hard enough to penetrate. Later, it gradually improved, but the issue was that the erection wasn't long-lasting. It would usually go soft naturally after two or three minutes, and sometimes it would go soft while in the act. Both of us were very frustrated. What could be the reason for this, and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, the main consideration is erectile dysfunction. The causes include: abnormal penile blood vessels due to long-term sexual activity, abnormal corpora cavernosa, penile injury, frequent sexual intercourse, urogenital system diseases (such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, epididymitis, etc.), endocrine diseases, neuropathy, psychological and mental factors, etc. To treat premature ejaculation, you can consume more aphrodisiac foods such as dog meat, mutton, sparrows, walnuts, ox penises, sheep kidneys, etc. You should also actively manage physical exercise to enhance your physical fitness and pay attention to rest to prevent overexertion, thereby readjusting the imbalance of the central nervous system. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for early examination.
