Patient's question:
Male, I am 25 years old and have always had the habit of masturbation. Recently, I found that I finish very quickly during masturbation. I haven't had actual sexual intercourse yet, and I'm very worried. Could this be premature ejaculation? Please ask: How long does it take for a man to ejaculate without it being considered premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
The sexual activity you mentioned, where the penis is inserted into the vagina and lasts less than two minutes with intermittent thrusting, falls under the category of premature ejaculation. If it is less than two minutes, it generally does not qualify as premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation can be treated with desensitizing medications applied to the glans, which can prolong sexual activity and significantly improve sexual quality. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods in their daily diet.
