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, urethritis, and prostatitis, among which chronic prostatitis is the most common cause of impotence. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an erectile function test and other related sexual function tests, and then consider treatment based on the test results.

The main symptoms of impotence are:

3. Impotence may occur occasionally, but it will be completely normal during the next sexual intercourse. It may be caused by temporary tension or fatigue and is not pathological.

4. Although impotence occurs frequently, the penis can become erect and maintain an erection for a period of time in the early morning or during masturbation, which is mostly caused by psychological factors.

5. Impotence persists and continues to progress, which is mostly caused by organic diseases.
