Patient's question:
Left testicular pain for over ten years, didn't seek medical advice if there were no problems. Recently, during sexual intercourse, the penis does not become erect, and it becomes soft after a short period. This has never happened before. What could be the reason, and is there any medication that can treat it?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you should be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED). There are many causes of ED, such as: psychological factors; any condition that may reduce blood flow to the corpora cavernosa of the penis; surgery or trauma causing damage to the blood vessels and nerves of the penis, leading to erectile dysfunction; endocrine disorders, chronic diseases, and long-term use of certain medications; recurrent and persistent prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia; or it may be caused by a specific condition—penile plaques, which is characterized by nodular or cord-like hardening of the penis. It is recommended that you visit a specialized clinic for sexual dysfunction diagnosis and treatment. Advanced diagnostic technologies can confirm the diagnosis, and targeted treatment can completely cure the condition.
