Functional anejaculation is a male sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to ejaculate normally during sexual intercourse. This condition is not caused by physiological structural abnormalities, but is related to psychological factors, nervous system function, or drug side effects.
During intercourse, a man may experience sexual arousal but be unable to reach orgasm. This may be accompanied by decreased libido, discomfort during intercourse, or anxiety. Sometimes, the patient may experience mild abdominal discomfort or tension after intercourse, but these symptoms usually do not last long. If the patient experiences extreme anxiety or stress during intercourse, this emotional disturbance may further affect their ejaculatory function.
When discussing functional anejaculation, it is crucial to emphasize that if symptoms persist or are accompanied by severe psychological stress, depression, or marital tension, immediate professional medical help should be sought. Some patients may mistakenly believe that functional anejaculation is a permanent sexual dysfunction, neglecting its potential psychological factors or medication side effects; therefore, timely medical attention and thorough examination are essential.
