Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, consider the possibility of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse when there is a sexual desire. It may also involve achieving an erection with some degree of firmness but not being able to maintain it for long enough to complete sexual activity, thereby hindering or preventing intercourse. Chronic inflammation of the urinary and reproductive organs, such as orchitis, epididymitis, urethritis, cystitis, and prostatitis, are common causes of erectile dysfunction. It is recommended that you visit a nearby reputable and professional hospital for proper diagnosis and treatment.
