Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are very harmful to men. I would like to ask how to diagnose erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE) are common male sexual dysfunctions that can harm men's physical and mental health. However, ED must be distinguished from other sexual dysfunctions such as premature ejaculation and nocturnal emissions. Generally, the process involves three steps: treatment — observation — diagnosis. Here, we introduce a simple test for examination. During nighttime sleep, wrap a paper ring around the penis and secure it firmly. The next morning, check whether the ring has broken. If it has, it indicates that the penis was erect during sleep, and thus ED cannot be diagnosed. If a penile circumference measuring device is used, the results will be more accurate.The diagnosis of premature ejaculation mainly involves testosterone levels, neurological function tests, and Doppler color ultrasound. Whether it is ED or PE, it should be taken seriously, and early treatment should be initiated to achieve good therapeutic effects.
