What is impotence and erectile dysfunction? Common sense interpretation of male impotence and erectile dysfunction

What is impotence (erectile dysfunction)? Each family has a slightly different definition of impotence (erectile dysfunction). One is in a broad sense. Sexual dysfunction such as low libido, inability to erect penis and rapid ejaculation are collectively referred to as erectile dysfunction; The other is in a narrow sense, that is, the penis cannot be erect or the penis can be erect, but it cannot maintain enough hardness to complete sexual intercourse, which lasts more than 1 year. Medical experts call the former complete erectile dysfunction and the latter incomplete erectile dysfunction.

Japanese scholar Jinzi believes that people who lack more than one or less libido, erection, intercourse, ejaculation and orgasm are erectile dysfunction. Masters and Johnson, European and American scholars, believe that the erection of the penis during sexual intercourse does not exceed 75%, which leads to the inability to insert into the vagina is called erectile dysfunction. China's Wu Jieping said: impotence is the synonym of erectile dysfunction, which refers to the penis can not enter the vagina for sex, known as erectile dysfunction; If you can enter the vagina to have sex, you should think that there is no erectile dysfunction, but the erection is not firm. The definition of the International Society for Erectile Dysfunction is that the penis cannot be effectively erected during sexual intercourse, leading to sexual dissatisfaction. In fact, erectile dysfunction is a complex and obvious sexual disorder disease, which has a particularly obvious overall effect.

It is worth emphasizing that normal sexual function also has physiological fluctuations. Temporary erectile dysfunction may occur when sexual function is stimulated by mental and emotional instability, poor health or women's indifference or opposition to sexual intercourse. This accidental phenomenon cannot be regarded as pathological. Only when the shadow direction of the above factors is excluded and repeated sexual failure under normal stimulation can be considered as erectile dysfunction. There are two types of erectile dysfunction: primary and secondary, organic and mental. The vast majority of erectile dysfunction is mental, and there are few people with organic diseases.

Erectile dysfunction is the most common male sexual dysfunction in clinic, which has profound psychological and medical significance. So far, diagnosis can only rely on the observation and self-report of patients, but only empirical judgment, which often leads to inaccurate diagnosis and wrong treatment plan. I hope that the development of new diagnostic methods and psychotherapy, combined with advanced surgery and scientific biochemical technology, can bring good news to patients with erectile dysfunction.
