Why does the penis become cold and have difficulty in erection?

When men have sex, due to external stimulation, the blood circulation in the penis area will speed up, and then the penis will become erect, and the temperature of the penis is also significantly higher at this time. However, for some men, the penis will become noticeably cool, and they will have erection problems during sex. This problem should be taken seriously, as it may be due to some men's diseases. Common causes are as follows.

Why does the penis become cold and have difficulty in erection?

Impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction, refers to the inability of the penis to erect or erection is not firm when there is sexual desire, or although there is an erection and a certain degree of hardness, it cannot maintain a sufficient time for sexual intercourse, thus hindering sexual intercourse or failing to complete sexual intercourse. Impotence is more common in people with chronic urogenital inflammation, such as orchitis, epididymitis, urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, etc. Impotence endangers men's physical and mental health and even affects fertility. It is recommended to go to a professional and formal hospital for treatment.

If this situation occurs occasionally, there is no need to worry too much, as it is most likely due to psychological factors. However, if it occurs continuously or frequently, it should be a sufficient warning.

According to medical practice, the first thing to do is to objectively evaluate the erectile dysfunction you are facing, whether it is psychological erectile dysfunction or pathological erectile dysfunction. The former can be cured by quitting bad living habits, regulating work and rest, and relieving psychological pressure, without medical treatment, and the physiological system is fully capable of recovering on its own; but pathological erectile dysfunction has exceeded the scope of the body's self-repair ability, and can only be improved by receiving targeted medical treatment.

Regarding the scheme for distinguishing between psychogenic erectile dysfunction and pathological erectile dysfunction, the core of the "World Health Organization White Paper on ED Detection and Control of Drug Abuse 2012" lies in whether a fourth-level standard hardness erection occurs during sleep at night (in clinical medicine, the hardness index is based on whether the erect penis can break the penis hardness test ring). If the erect penis at night can break the test ring, it means that the nocturnal erectile ability is good and there is no pathological damage to the physiological system itself, which is a psychogenic erectile dysfunction; but if the test ring cannot be broken, it means that the nocturnal erectile ability is very poor, which is a pathological erectile dysfunction. At this time, the problem is more difficult and must be treated with targeted medical treatment.

If you are really worried, many public tertiary hospitals have imported disposable test sheets like this. You can do a hardness test at home for 2-3 nights and observe whether the test ring is broken the next day. This is enough to prove the health of the physiological function and whether it can recover on its own. If you are embarrassed, you can look for it on Taobao or other websites. It is just a routine test.

In addition, children should avoid taking medication blindly when the nature of the condition is unclear, as this can easily increase secondary fatigue of erectile function and increase the difficulty of future treatment. Such negative cases are common in clinical practice.
