Being softer than a banana means "erectile dysfunction"? Will watching porn movies too often make you hard to get hard on? Doctor: I'm afraid 50% of them won't come to see a doctor
2 major symptoms of erectile dysfunction! 50% of patients in Taiwan are unwilling to seek medical treatment?
“Bedtime” is the moment to prove a man’s virility. If “cannot get hard” occurs during intercourse, it will often make men feel ashamed and have their self-confidence frustrated. Dr. Zhou Zhengwei, director of the Department of Urology at New Taipei City Hospital , said that if the penis cannot be completely filled with blood and cannot enter the vagina to complete sexual intercourse, it is consistent with the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. You can also measure the hardness by yourself to pay attention to whether there are erection problems as early as possible.
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei said that according to past statistics on Taiwanese men, as the age group increases, the proportion of erectile dysfunction also shows an upward trend. However, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction is difficult to estimate because many men may be reluctant to admit that they have become a statistical “black number.” It can be seen from the popular questionnaire that the prevalence rate of erectile dysfunction is much higher than that of the medical population. It is estimated that as many as 50% of men with erectile dysfunction may not seek medical help from the hospital.
How to self-test if you have erectile dysfunction? See a doctor if the hardness is lower than “this level”?
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei said that if you are not sure whether you have erectile dysfunction, you can evaluate it through the 5 indicators of the International Index of Erectile Function. If the score is lower than 20 points, it means you may have mild erectile dysfunction. For erectile dysfunction problems, you need to pay attention to related symptoms.
When diagnosing erectile function, Dr. Zhou Zhengwei said that the hardness will first be divided into 4 levels:
“Small cucumber” scored 4 points, with the highest hardness; followed by peeled bananas (3 points), peeled bananas (2 points), and the worst performer was konjac (1 point). Dr. Zhou Zhengwei believes that if the penis hardness is lower than a “peeling banana”, which means less than 2 points, the patient may have severe insufficient penis congestion and be unable to complete sexual intercourse.
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei emphasized that erectile dysfunction in patients under the age of 40 is mostly related to “psychogenic” factors, which may be caused by excessive stress caused by sexual dysfunction or disharmony between partners. In addition, changing positions during sexual intercourse, or suddenly wanting to go to the toilet, may also prevent the penis from being filled with blood normally, affecting the normal blood filling function.
What causes erectile dysfunction? Highly related to “cardiovascular disease”?
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei reminds that erectile function is highly related to blood vessel health. Poorer cardiovascular health will also affect erectile function; and erectile dysfunction is also a sign of cardiovascular disease.
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei said that congestive insufficiency of the penis means that the surrounding small arteries have begun to be damaged. If patients do not adjust their daily routine and improve bad habits in time, they will face coronary artery problems, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular obstruction, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases in the future. Risks will also rise.
Is it easier to get hard-on after watching porn movies often? Can exercise help congestion?
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei said that excessive addiction to adult videos can cause a lot of “sexual stimulation” and may have adverse effects on normal sexual behavior. When having sex with your partner, if you cannot achieve the stimulation you feel when watching a video, it may induce symptoms such as premature ejaculation and incomplete erection. Doctors call on men to avoid being addicted to adult videos and to divert their attention moderately and engage in sports or other activities to vent excess energy.
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei said that moderate weight training can help stimulate muscle growth, improve sexual function and testosterone, and can also help improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction. However, excessive use of male hormone drugs may lead to insufficient secretion of androgens in the body, which may lead to impaired erectile function. Doctors remind you that whether it is aerobic exercise or weight training, it is beneficial to your health, but any exercise should not be over-trained. It is recommended to measure personal cardiopulmonary function and physical fitness before proceeding.
