Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been masturbating for about two years, but I have now stopped. However, my penis now has symptoms of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Moreover, my ability to control ejaculation is weak—when I come into contact with pornographic content, only a small amount of semen is released. Doctor, if I stop masturbating, will premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction improve?The most I ever masturbated was about twice a week. Usually, it was once a week, and I continued this for over two years. I have never had sexual intercourse.
First follow-up question: Doctor, can you introduce some exercises to prevent premature ejaculation? Can I take the male enhancement pills sold in the market?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, impotence refers to the inability to achieve an erection or maintain a firm erection during sexual arousal, making it difficult to engage in sexual activity. In some cases, it may involve complete inability to achieve an erection. The causes of impotence can include psychological factors, excessive sexual activity, frequent masturbation during adolescence, or early marriage and childbirth. It may also be related to various diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases), medications, trauma, and surgery. If impotence persists and worsens over time, it is often caused by organic conditions. Treatment can combine sexual psychological therapy and medication, including hormone drugs and traditional Chinese medicine formulas.
