Is it considered premature ejaculation if it only takes three or five minutes?

Patient's question:

A 42-year-old man gradually started feeling uncomfortable in his body, not knowing what was wrong, and seemed to lack energy. Question: Is lasting only three or five minutes considered premature ejaculation?

Doctor's answer:

Premature ejaculation is generally defined as occurring within 2 minutes. If ejaculation occurs inside the female vagina, it is considered premature ejaculation. Your situation does not qualify as premature ejaculation; it may be due to excessive sensitivity of the glans. It is recommended to apply a significant amount of desensitizing medication to the glans and remove it before sexual activity. Additionally, patients need to maintain a disciplined diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and watery foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
