Patient's question:
Hello``I just turned 19 this year```A few weeks ago, I accidentally noticed that my penis is slightly bent to the left, about 20 degrees, which looks awkward```It has caused me psychological pressure. Recently, I've been experiencing premature ejaculation, and sometimes I feel pain during urination. I haven't had any sexual activity. Sometimes, even after watching pornographic movies or waking up in the morning, I can still get an erection, but at other times, it's weak and lacking strength. Please tell me if this condition can be treated, what type of condition it is, and how long the treatment will take and how much it will cost?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Erectile dysfunction refers to the inability of a normal male to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse when he has sexual desire. This can lead to difficulties in sexual intercourse or the inability to complete it. The causes include: 1. Psychological factors such as: indifference between partners, tension, frequent sexual activity leading to a state of tension in the erection center; 2. Physiological factors such as: abnormalities in the erection center, pituitary gland diseases, and testicular damage or removal; 3. Long-term alcoholism, prolonged excessive exposure to radiation, excessive use of sleeping pills, and a history of frequent masturbation are all contributing factors to erectile dysfunction. Currently, treatment primarily involves psychological therapy, medication such as intracavernous drug injection, urethral administration, and hormone therapy, as well as surgical treatment. As I am unaware of your current situation, if possible, it is recommended to come to the hospital for a clear diagnosis at an early stage and follow medical advice for timely medication. This is a key factor in ensuring whether it can be cured. Please take this seriously. Wishing you good health.
