Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you should be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED). There are many causes of ED, such as: surgical procedures, trauma leading to damage of blood vessels and nerves related to the penis, resulting in ED; endocrine disorders, chronic diseases, and long-term use of certain medications; recurrent and persistent prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia; or it may be caused by a specific condition—Peyronie's disease, which is characterized by nodular or cord-like hardening of the penis; psychological factors; or any disease that may reduce blood flow to the penile corpus cavernosum. It is recommended that you visit a hospital promptly for diagnosis using advanced diagnostic techniques. Targeted treatment can completely cure the condition.
