Is an erection good for the body?

Patient's question:

Is it good for the penis to get erect frequently? Reacting to external stimuli is normal? Unmarried

Doctor's answer:

Erection of the penis, although a physiological phenomenon, follows certain general patterns in terms of timing and duration. If the erection is too frequent or lasts too long, it may indicate an underlying disease, and medical attention should be sought promptly to identify the cause and receive active treatment. Otherwise, it may lead to erectile dysfunction, which could affect one's life.
It is widely known that abnormal penile erection can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary habits, with a focus on light and nutritious foods, avoiding foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
