Patient's question:
I am 22 years old. I started masturbating at the age of 17 and did it quite frequently. Recently, my family introduced me to a partner, and everything seems fine, except that I've realized I might have premature ejaculation. I think it might be due to my past masturbation habits. I am really suffering now. Could you please tell me: What are the methods to treat premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation may be caused by kidney deficiency, and psychological factors also play a role. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for pulse diagnosis. Symptomatic oral medication can be taken, along with regular sexual activity, increased intercourse, and a diet low in spicy and irritating foods, which will gradually improve. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and warmth, and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods in their daily diet.
