Can impotence lead to infertility?

When it comes to male diseases such as impotence, I believe many male friends are embarrassed to talk about it. Because impotence is what we often call erectile dysfunction, and this type of disease mainly refers to the inability of a man's penis to erect normally during sexual intercourse, resulting in the inability to complete sexual intercourse better. Therefore, impotence has a huge impact on men's physical and psychological health. So, will impotence lead to infertility?

In fact, the harmfulness of impotence is unquestionable. Many men, due to their own face, have been unwilling to go to the hospital for treatment in person, which leads to the aggravation of the disease and even a decline in reproductive function. Below I will give you a detailed introduction to the question of whether impotence can lead to infertility.

Can impotence lead to infertility?

Impotence is also called erectile dysfunction, which means that when there is sexual desire, the penis cannot erect or the erection is not firm, or although it has 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.

First of all, we need to know whether patients with impotence can have children. The answer is yes. However, due to the lack of successful and effective sexual intercourse, and the fact that some men also have premature ejaculation, anejaculation, etc., the wife's pregnancy rate is greatly reduced. Impotence is a common disease of male sexual dysfunction. Impotence is divided into psychological impotence and organic impotence. Most men suffer from psychological impotence, and this type of patient actually has a great chance of being cured.

There are many reasons for male infertility, mainly referring to the lack of sufficient quantity and quality of sperm in the semen, resulting in the inability to fertilize the egg. For people with impotence, semen and sperm may be normal, but they cannot fertilize the egg because they cannot complete sexual intercourse. Men with infertility often have normal sexual intercourse ability, but are unable to fertilize the egg due to abnormal semen or absence of sperm. Most cases of impotence are functional. As long as the cause is found and treated correctly, normal sexual function can be restored. Therefore, impotence cannot be rashly regarded as infertility.

Finally, to treat impotence, you need to go to a regular hospital for treatment. The first thing is to find out the cause so that targeted treatment can be carried out. For those with organic diseases, treatment should be targeted at the primary disease. For those caused by drug effects, the drugs should be stopped or replaced with other drugs. For psychogenic impotence, psychological or behavioral therapy should be used, while for some organic impotence whose causes cannot be resolved, penile prosthesis implantation surgery may be considered.

As to whether impotence can lead to infertility, the answer is obvious. Impotence can indeed cause a man to be unable to ejaculate normally, which will ultimately greatly reduce his wife's chances of getting pregnant. Therefore, male friends should not be afraid to see a doctor, but should go to a regular andrology hospital in time to receive appropriate treatment, as well as psychological treatment, so that they can recover quickly.
