Patient's question:
I have a history of masturbation for over 10 years, and I masturbate quite frequently. In my 20s, I consumed a lot of alcohol and smoked more, and I always loved spicy food. Before marriage, I never had sexual relations. After marriage, I found that my penis did not erect well, and even when it did, it was not firm enough to insert into the vagina, making it impossible to have sexual intercourse.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is likely erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is also known as impotence. There are many causes of erectile dysfunction, such as: psychological factors; any condition that may reduce blood flow to the penile corpus cavernosum; 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 and persistent prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia; it may also be caused by a specific condition, such as penile plaques, which is characterized by nodular or cord-like hardening of the penis. We recommend that you come to our hospital to identify the detailed cause and receive targeted treatment, which can be completely cured.
