Impotence, known as "male erectile dysfunction" or "male erectile dysfunction," is abbreviated as ED. Impotence is often used as a means of ridiculing men, often manifested as inability or lack of erection of the penis, a short period of erection, and inability to engage in and complete sexual life. However, there are some men who only occasionally encounter some situations and believe that they are impotent, which brings psychological pressure to them. So, what exactly is impotence? How to distinguish true and false impotence?
How to distinguish true and false impotence?
1. Distinguishing true and false impotence from the cause of the disease
The main symptom of impotence is erectile dysfunction. Generally speaking, if a man suddenly experiences erectile dysfunction (such as inability to erect or weak erection, short erection time), it generally belongs to "false" impotence; "If a man's erectile dysfunction has a gradual process, and the erectile dysfunction gradually worsens, it is necessary to consider whether he has" true "impotence.".
2. Distinguishing true and false impotence from duration
If male sexual dysfunction persists for a long time, it indicates a serious condition; "If sexual dysfunction occurs for a short time, it may only be a temporary problem. Men should relax and not put psychological pressure on themselves, as tension and anxiety are themselves one of the manifestations of psychological impotence.".
What misconceptions do men have about impotence
1. Think you're impotent once you fail
In fact, it is inevitable for men to occasionally "fail" in their lives, mainly due to internal or external environmental factors such as stress, mood, physical health, and emotions. Some men believe that they are impotent once or twice after failure. In fact, this view is incorrect. Men who fail once or twice are not a big deal. Proper adjustments in future marital life can restore their "virility".
2. Women who don't orgasm think they can't
A common misconception among many men is that they believe that when their ejaculation ends and a woman has not reached orgasm, they are impotent. In fact, not every woman has orgasms. Women's orgasms have little to do with male impotence, and can only be considered as sexual disharmony at best.
3. "I think I'm impotent if I don't have a clear morning erection."
Many married men believe they have sexual dysfunction when they discover that their morning erections are not as pronounced as before. In fact, morning erections and all erotic stimuli caused by nerve reflexes can induce mental erections. This type of erection is very irregular and can vary with a person's physique, thoughts, emotions, etc., from good to bad, and cannot be used as a criterion for judging impotence.
4. Frequent ejaculation can lead to impotence
The ancient Chinese concept of sex has a saying that "frequent ejaculation greatly damages vitality.". In fact, such concerns are redundant. There is no inevitable link between ejaculation and impotence. Healthy unmarried men who ejaculate two or three times a month are completely normal. Beyond this frequency, it may be related to inflammation of the reproductive and urinary organs or certain living habits, such as wearing tight pants, local excessive heat during night sleep, and excessive tiredness during the day, which can be alleviated by appropriate treatment.
Combining the above symptoms of impotence, patients can first judge whether they are truly impotent. If you are indeed very suspicious, you should immediately go to a regular hospital for further diagnosis. Do not use "aphrodisiac" without permission, and do not trust false advertisements to avoid making impotence more difficult to cure.
