Patient's question:
When I was in high school, due to the habit of masturbation, I developed a sense of guilt, often pressing my genitalia with my hand. Later, the habit of masturbation gradually faded away, but when the genitalia became erect, they no longer had the same hardness as before, and the duration was also very short. Currently, they barely erect in the morning.Age: 24
First additional question: I visited a hospital once, and the doctor at the time said there was nothing wrong. But now, after another year has passed, there is still no significant improvement. If I calculate it, this situation has lasted for 5 years now, and I am really quite concerned. When I first noticed this, there was a feeling of having the intention but lacking the strength during erection. Now
Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering your condition, there may be a possibility of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse when there is a sexual desire. It may also involve achieving an erection with some degree of hardness but not being able to maintain it for a sufficient duration during intercourse, thereby hindering or preventing sexual activity. Chronic inflammation of the urogenital organs leading to erectile dysfunction is relatively common, such as orchitis, epididymitis, urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, etc., among which chronic prostatitis is the most frequently associated with erectile dysfunction. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. After a clear diagnosis, targeted treatment can be administered.
