Patient's question:
Recently, my sexual life hasn't been going well. I get erect quickly, but it becomes soft very soon. I feel like I might have ED. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, mild erectile dysfunction generally refers to normal sexual desire; the penis becomes erect quickly after sexual stimulation, but it is not firm or the erection duration is short; masturbation can induce an erection; during sexual intercourse, the penis can become erect but cannot last, or it may require manual assistance to penetrate. The causes of erectile dysfunction can be physical or psychological. Since mild erectile dysfunction is mostly related to psychological factors, patients can try psychological therapy. At the same time, some medications can be used to assist in treatment, but they must be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor. It is recommended that patients undergo a detailed examination at a hospital and not self-diagnose or take medication to avoid delaying treatment.
