Patient's question:
The penis gets bigger when stimulated, but it doesn't get fully erect and hard like before. Now, the erection feels weak, and without stimulation, it's obvious that it becomes soft and shrinks. Natural erections are sometimes still very difficult, and the erection isn't firm! What should I do? I'm not married and haven't had sex, and I'm under a lot of pressure!Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of sexual dysfunction, which can be categorized into functional and organic types. Functional sexual dysfunction accounts for the majority of cases and is typically characterized by disturbances in cortical brain function. It is usually caused by abnormal sexual habits (such as masturbation, excessive sexual intercourse) and abnormal mental states (such as fear, tension, fatigue). Organic sexual dysfunction is less common and is often due to spinal cord injuries that disrupt the function of the erectile and ejaculation centers, or chronic inflammation such as urethritis, prostatitis, epididymitis, as well as neuroendocrine diseases and conditions affecting the penis itself. It is recommended to seek medical attention, undergo specialized and professional examinations to confirm the diagnosis, and then receive targeted treatment.
