Patient's question:
I am 25 years old and have been masturbating for a long time. It's quite frequent. Recently, my family introduced me to a partner, and everything seems great, except that I've noticed I might have premature ejaculation. I think it's probably due to my frequent masturbation in the past. I'm really suffering now. Could you please advise on how to handle premature ejaculation caused by frequent masturbation?Doctor's answer:
The causes of premature ejaculation include: nerve damage due to frequent sexual activity during adolescence, prostate diseases, chronic prostatitis leading to nerve conversion excitement in the ejaculation duct, re-adjustment of the endocrine system, psychological factors, and phimosis, among others. It is recommended to visit a urology hospital's sexual dysfunction department for follow-up treatment after a clear diagnosis is made, so that symptomatic treatment can be administered. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
