Patient's question:
I am 25 years old, male. Every time I have sex by myself, it only takes one minute before I want to ejaculate. How can men with premature ejaculation be helped?Doctor's answer:
Sexual intercourse lasting less than 5 minutes is considered premature ejaculation, and the most definitive clinical manifestations of premature ejaculation include weak ejaculation control, a short ejaculation latency period, and distress for both sexual partners. Primary premature ejaculation is characterized by the condition existing since the onset of sexual activity, while secondary premature ejaculation may be accompanied by symptoms such as prostatitis or chronic pain syndrome. There are several causes of premature ejaculation. However, if it is caused by psychological, mental, or organic factors (e.g., urinary tract inflammation), symptomatic treatment methods are required to effectively address and overcome the issue. Patients should cultivate healthy daily habits, maintain regular sleep schedules, avoid smoking and alcohol, and engage in more physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
