Patient's question:
Description of Condition: Sexual dissatisfaction began last year! Because of this, I took the "Magic Root" stamina-enhancing herbal medicine and underwent traditional Chinese medicine regulation for half a year. Recently, I've noticed that my genitalia become very hard and remain so for a long time at night. However, when I stand up, they quickly become soft and feel numb and tingly. In the morning, I experience lower back pain. Now, even if someone of the opposite sex touches or plays with it, it doesn't get hard, but it becomes hard when I'm asleep. I hope all the experts can provide answers! Thank you!Past Treatment and Effects: Taking traditional Chinese medicine helped a bit, but now I don't dare to take it anymore! I'm afraid of getting hard at night.
What Help Is Needed: I want answers and help with treatment.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Erection failure or weak erection is primarily caused by functional and organic factors. Functional factors, also known as psychological factors, include long-term masturbation leading to psychological stress, poor coordination with a partner in daily relationships, inappropriate or insufficient sexual stimulation, adverse sexual experiences, and poor sexual living environments. Organic factors are often related to abnormalities in penis development, endocrine disorders, neurological or vascular conditions, local penile issues, prostatitis, orchitis, and other reproductive system inflammatory conditions, all of which can lead to erectile dysfunction. If abnormal erections persist for a long time, it is necessary to visit a hospital for sexual function testing to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
