Patient's question:
After middle school, I have been masturbating for about four or five years. About four or five years ago, I started experiencing difficulty getting erect, never had morning erections, and when I did get an erection, it was firm but quickly went soft. Now, I have no libido, my penis feels cold, I cannot get an erection on my own, and even after stimulation, my erection is not firm.Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, first, long-term, excessive, and frequent masturbation can cause excessive congestion in the perineum and lower abdomen, leading to prostatitis, urethral discharge, and lower abdominal pain, which are its direct manifestations. Second, the habit of seeking pleasure through high-intensity stimulation over time makes normal sexual stimuli, such as visual, auditory, and psychological imagination, unable to trigger normal erections, ultimately resulting in weak erections and weakened morning erections. Additionally, your gradually deteriorating erections are also related to your prostatitis and negative emotional stimuli. Finally, your lower back pain, cold penis, and low sexual desire are related to the physical exhaustion caused by excessive masturbation. Your issues should be manageable if you control masturbation and combine it with appropriate traditional Chinese medicine treatment. It's essential to seek medical attention at hospitals. I know a few hospitals: Changchun No. 2 Hospital, Baicheng Central Hospital, and Lishu County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
