Patient's question:
Doctor, I used to have a history of masturbation, and now it's difficult for me to get erect during intercourse. However, when I masturbate, I can get erect well and maintain hardness, but it quickly becomes soft as soon as I stop.Doctor's answer:
The causes of impotence are very complex, including psychological and physiological factors as well as certain diseases. Some impotent patients previously had a habit of masturbation. Currently, it is believed that masturbation does not affect health and generally does not impair erectile function. However, frequent masturbation can lead to a decreased response of the penis to vaginal stimulation, thereby affecting erectile function. It is recommended that you reduce the frequency of masturbation and increase the number of normal sexual intercourse. If necessary, oral medication treatment may be required.
