Patient's question:
I usually have a fairly good lifestyle, but somehow, suddenly my little brother became hard. After searching online, it seems to be a symptom of impotence. I want to ask what are the causes of impotence? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The causes of erectile dysfunction include:1. Genital deformities: Such as excessive foreskin, penile curvature, micropenis,, urethral hypospadias, and urethral epispadias, which affect the function of the penile corpus cavernosum, leading to impaired erectile function and resulting in erectile dysfunction.
2. Urological diseases: Conditions like urethritis, cystitis, post-prostatectomy, and nephritis-induced renal insufficiency can cause erectile dysfunction. These diseases affect both physiologically and physically, and it is essential to actively treat the conditions that trigger erectile dysfunction.
3. Prostatitis: When men suffer from prostatitis, it can lead to sexual dysfunction such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Over 90% of patients with erectile dysfunction can be cured.
