Doctor's answer:
Expert in Men's Health Answers: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is classified as severe. Although ED does not affect life expectancy, it impacts health, quality of life, interpersonal relationships, and mental well-being. ED is not only a medical condition but also a public health issue that requires attention. The reasons why ED often remains untreated are primarily as follows:1. Lack of proper sexual knowledge, reliance on certain myths, strict parental attitudes toward sex at home, marital disharmony, and a negative family attitude toward sexual issues. Long-term masturbation during youth, coupled with an exaggerated understanding of its harms, may lead to psychological conflicts.
2. Unrestrained sexual activity, excessive indulgence. Some individuals with ED experience slight improvement but fail to maintain a balanced sexual routine, leading to overindulgence and a recurrence of ED.
3. Excessive haste for quick results, lacking a comprehensive and systematic treatment approach. Believing in folk remedies and self-treating by randomly taking supplements or aphrodisiacs not only fails to resolve ED but may worsen the condition and miss the best opportunity for treatment.
4. Ignoring ED caused by excessive foreskin. Due to a lack of proper understanding, people tend to treat symptoms superficially (e.g., treating the head for a headache while ignoring the feet). However, without addressing the actual cause—the excessive foreskin—ED persists and remains unresolved.
