Patient's question:
I am 27 years old, male. Recently, when having sexual intercourse with my wife, just after the penis was inserted and before it was stroked a few times, I couldn't help but ejaculate. How should men treat premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
The causes of premature ejaculation are based on a lack of brain control over ejaculation; excessive sensitivity of the glans penis and penile shaft; inflammation of the urinary and reproductive system, such as prostatitis; the habit formed by frequent sexual activity over a long period; psychological and physical factors, etc. In terms of treatment, targeted examinations must be conducted first to identify the cause of premature ejaculation before symptomatic treatment can be administered. If premature ejaculation is caused by prostate disease, then targeted treatment for the prostate disease should be given. If it is caused by high glans sensitivity, then a penile dorsal nerve blockage surgery can be performed to alleviate premature ejaculation once and for all. If it is caused by other issues, then symptomatic treatment should be administered. In summary, do not blindly treat premature ejaculation before a thorough examination confirms the cause.
