Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have a history of masturbation for 6 years, and it has been very frequent—several times a week, sometimes multiple times a day. In the past two years, I've noticed that my penis does not get as hard as before. Previously, after ejaculation, it would remain hard for about 1 minute, but now it becomes soft immediately after ejaculation. Additionally, the erection is slower, and the hardness is only about 60% of what it used to be! I barely have morning erections anymore, and when I do, they are very soft. I don't have any other bad habits—I don't smoke or drink. I believe this might be due to excessive masturbation.
