Patient's question:
Hello, I've been having trouble with my wife and me recently during sex, as I always get soft very easily. Lately, I've been experiencing a sudden inability to maintain an erection, like ED. Thank you for looking into what might be causing this. How can it be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, impotence refers to poor erection hardness, difficulty in achieving an erection, or a situation where a man does not ejaculate during sexual activity and experiences softness. Impotence is often accompanied by premature ejaculation, which is characterized by an inability to control ejaculation and a short duration of sexual activity. From a symptomatic perspective, impotence and premature ejaculation can be attributed to abnormalities in the nerve conduction and blood circulation in the penis. Further diagnosis of the specific cause can be conducted through sexual function tests. Clinically, impotence and premature ejaculation caused by masturbation, excessive foreskin, prostatitis, and alcohol consumption are also very common, especially prostatitis, which has become a major cause of male impotence and premature ejaculation in recent years. When taking certain medications for treatment, it is advisable to choose those that do not affect sexual function. It is recommended to seek examination at a formal hospital as soon as possible. After a definitive diagnosis, targeted treatment can be administered. Avoid consuming greasy foods, preferably avoiding them altogether, as well as spicy foods and alcohol. Do not stay up late and engage in morning exercises.
