Patient's question:
Hello. I have a short erection time. Sometimes it gets soft before I even enter, but I can still enter and ejaculate. What's wrong?Doctor's answer:
Hello, impotence refers to the inability to achieve an erection, or an erection that is not firm enough to allow for self-insertion into the vagina, or the penis becomes soft during insertion, making sexual intercourse impossible. If you have a short erection time and cannot engage in normal sexual life with your partner, it may indicate the presence of erectile dysfunction. There are many possible causes, such as: psychological factors; any disease that may reduce blood flow to the corpora cavernosa of the penis; surgery or trauma that causes damage to the blood vessels and nerves related to the penis, leading to erectile dysfunction; endocrine disorders, chronic diseases, and long-term use of certain medications; recurrent prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia that does not respond to treatment for a long time, etc. Different causes require different treatments. It is recommended to visit the sexual function department of a hospital to identify the cause so that targeted treatment can be provided.
