Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What should I do if long-term masturbation has led to impotence?Doctor's answer:
Hello, masturbation does not directly lead to erectile dysfunction, but frequent and long-term masturbation can cause prolonged congestion in the penis, prostate, and other sexual gland organs, leading to chronic inflammation and subsequently resulting in symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Conditions such as phimosis, smoking, and prostatitis can also cause symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Since the causes differ, the treatment methods also vary, including Western and Chinese medicinal treatments, surgical treatments, and physical therapies. The appropriate treatment should be determined based on your actual condition. Early detection and early treatment are crucial. It is recommended to visit a professional urological hospital to identify the cause early, which will help in achieving early recovery.
