Patient's question:
I am 20 years old and a virgin. I have masturbated for 4 years and have abstained for a while now. Currently, I have some difficulty getting erect, but I do have morning erections. Is this considered erectile dysfunction? I am so scared... Will it affect my future and fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, premature ejaculation is just a symptom caused by various reasons. Long-term premature ejaculation may lead to symptoms such as weak ejaculation, lack of pleasure, or even decreased libido. There are many causes of premature ejaculation, such as prolonged foreskin, phimosis, urethritis, orchitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, and psychological factors, among others. Some of these conditions not only affect sexual quality and marital relationships but may also impact fertility. Identifying the root cause and treating it accordingly is the key to curing the issue. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital's sexual function department for proper diagnosis and treatment, where you can receive effective results. Wishing you good health.
