Patient's question:
What is the reason my husband gets erect but doesn't soften? Is it a disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this depends on the specific situation. If the penis does not become soft immediately after ejaculation but becomes soft after a while, that is normal. Whether the penis becomes flaccid immediately after ejaculation varies from person to person. Those who have less frequent sexual activity or fewer ejaculation, and who are younger, may not become flaccid immediately after ejaculation. Instead, they may continue to be erect for about 10 minutes before becoming flaccid after losing stimulation. As age increases and ejaculation increases, it gradually becomes flaccid within 1-2 minutes after ejaculation. For this situation, if the penis cannot become flaccid for a long time after ejaculation, persisting for several hours or more, there is a problem, and medical treatment is needed.
