Patient's question:
After a fever, suddenly developed erectile dysfunction. There was no response to manual stimulation. Later, it improved with morning and nighttime erections. It has been almost a year now.Doctor's answer:
First, there are two questions that need to be clarified: First, do you have actual sexual activity? Second, how often do you usually masturbate. If you do not have the above factors, it is estimated that your problem should not be serious. Short-term colds and fever may temporarily cause a decrease in erectile function, but it is generally not permanent damage to sexual function. If you have morning or nighttime erections, it basically proves that you do not have a physical erectile dysfunction problem. Your decreased erectile function should be related to your mental stress and excessive attention. If you are still not at ease, you can do an endocrine hormone test (blood test requires fasting in the morning), penile blood flow, penile nerve conduction measurement, or you can also have an ultrasound examination of the prostate. The examination costs about 600-700 yuan.
