Patient's question:
What are the reasons for erectile dysfunction, and how long has it been going on?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you should be classified as having erectile dysfunction (ED), which is primarily characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for vaginal penetration, or the penis becoming soft during intercourse. There are many possible causes, such as: psychological factors; any condition that may reduce blood flow to the penile corpus cavernosum; endocrine disorders, chronic diseases, and long-term use of certain medications; recurrent and persistent prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia that does not respond to treatment. It is recommended that you visit a hospital to undergo advanced diagnostic techniques for a definitive diagnosis. Targeted treatment can completely cure the condition.
