How do you diagnose erectile dysfunction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's mostly based on history of symptoms such as trouble getting an erection, trouble keeping an erection and reduced sexual desire. Tests are done to know the presence of any organic causes.

View allI'm a bit concerned about a situation I've been experiencing. Whenever I imagine having sex, my sperm seems to come out without any physical stimulation like rubbing my penis. I'm not married yet, and I'm worried this might create problems for me when I do get married. Could this indicate that Im dealing with some kind of medical issue? What should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing **premature ejaculation** or **nocturnal emissions** (wet dreams), which are common in many men, especially when experiencing sexual thoughts or fantasies. This isn't typically a sign of any disease but could be related to heightened sexual arousal or stress. If you're concerned or if it affects your daily life, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.
