What is the reason why the penis cannot erect?

The penis will erect during sexual intercourse. When a man reaches orgasm, semen is released from the penis and the penis returns to its original state. The length of time the male penis can stay erect is related to the strength of the body. The stronger the kidney function, the longer the erection time. The inability of the penis to erect is a sign of sexual dysfunction and requires treatment. Let's take a look at the reasons why the penis cannot erect.

Erectile dysfunction is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse, lasting for at least 6 months.

Mild: Sexual desire is basically normal, erection response is rapid, erection duration is unstable, sometimes the erection cannot be sustained, and the erection hardness is sometimes unable to be inserted into the vagina. Sexual pleasure is basically normal, the frequency of sexual intercourse is less than before, and the erection response during masturbation is basically normal.

Moderate: Decreased sexual desire, slower erection response, often unable to sustain erection, erection hardness often not enough for vaginal penetration, diminished sexual pleasure, significantly reduced frequency of sexual intercourse, and very reluctant erection response during masturbation.

Severe: Sexual desire disappears, and there is no erectile response. There is no question of sustained erection of the penis. The penis can be fully inserted into the vagina, but there is no sexual pleasure.

The inability of the penis to erect is impotence, which refers to the phenomenon that the penis cannot be erected or is not erect during sexual intercourse, and cannot be inserted into the vagina. Impotence is mostly caused by organic and psychological factors, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, neurological factors, endocrine factors, etc. and physical factors, environmental factors may also cause it. The normal reasons for the inability of the penis to erect are mainly: 1. Although impotence occurs frequently, the penis can be erected in the early morning or during masturbation, and it can be maintained for a period of time. Many of them are caused by psychological factors. 2. Inconsistent emotional communication with the other party, insufficient or inconsistent sexual behavior of young people, and some anxiety and impatience cause impotence. 3. Impotence occasionally occurs when sexual life is completely normal. It may be due to tension or excessive fatigue and is not pathological.
