Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, I have been unable to get an erection on our wedding night.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. This can manifest as complete inability to erect, insufficient rigidity of the erection, or the ability to achieve an erection with some degree of hardness but not enough to sustain sexual activity, thereby hindering or preventing sexual intercourse. Impotence can be classified into congenital and pathological types. 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 timely measures 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!
