Does long-term abstinence lead to impotence and premature ejaculation?

Patient's question:

Because when my wife was pregnant, she often wanted it but couldn't have it. Either she would masturbate, or if we did have sex, she would just go through the motions. In the later stages of pregnancy, we couldn't have intercourse at all. Even three months after giving birth, we still couldn't have sex. Recently, we've been able to have intercourse again, but I've realized I seem to have developed premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Sometimes I can't get hard, and other times I finish almost immediately. I'm so frustrated!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering your special circumstances. I think many people have encountered this situation. It may be due to personal psychological reasons. Combined with long-term abstinence, both physically and psychologically, you haven't been satisfied. This has led to the symptoms of impotence and premature ejaculation you are experiencing now. I suggest adjusting your mindset and waiting for a while. If it still doesn't improve, go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination. Wish you a speedy recovery!
