Patient's question:
Recently found out what's wrong with my husband, he always can't get erect, told him to go to the hospital for a check-up, but he refuses.Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence (internationally abbreviated as ED), refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse when there is a sexual desire. It can also involve achieving an erection with some degree of firmness but not being able to sustain it for long enough to complete sexual activity, thereby hindering or preventing intercourse. ED can be classified into two types: congenital and pathological. The former is rare and difficult to cure, while the latter is more common and has a higher cure rate. Once ED occurs, it is essential to take measures promptly to prevent the condition from worsening. Mutual understanding between partners is also crucial. If the condition deteriorates further, it is imperative to seek medical attention at a reputable hospital to ensure the disease does not worsen!
