Patient's question:
My husband is really off right now. He lacks energy during sex too. Every time, his penis doesn't get hard easily. I've been trying really hard to help him get erect, but it's not working well.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 hardness but not being able to maintain it for a sufficient duration to complete sexual activity, thereby hindering or preventing intercourse. Impotence is categorized 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 impotence 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!
