Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction, lasting for half a year, is it considered impotence? Is this condition treatable? Which department should I consult?Doctor's answer:
Hello, impotence is also known as erectile dysfunction, which refers to the inability of the penis to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. If treatment is not timely, it may lead to the inability of the penis to erect, resulting in the inability to engage in normal sexual life, affecting marital relationships, quality of life, and even leading to infertility, among other issues. Chronic inflammation of the urinary and reproductive organs is a common cause of impotence, such as orchitis, epididymitis, urethritis, cystitis, and prostatitis. Currently, there are no medications that can cure impotence or premature ejaculation. It is recommended to consult online for detailed information or visit the People's Liberation Army Navy General Hospital for a comprehensive examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
