Patient's question:
I am a 34-year-old male, and I have always had the habit of masturbating. Recently, I've noticed that I finish very quickly during masturbation and ejaculate right away. I haven't had actual sexual intercourse yet, and I'm very worried. Could this be premature ejaculation? Please ask: Does premature ejaculation affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation refers to the condition where ejaculation occurs within less than 2 minutes from the penis entering the vagina during sexual activity. If ejaculation occurs without penetration, it is still considered premature ejaculation and may affect the chances of conception. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests including prostatic fluid, sexual hormone, and thyroid hormone. Only in a regular hospital can the possibility of conception be considered if the sperm quality is normal. For a high chance of conception, the sperm quality must be normal. Then, the patient needs to maintain a disciplined diet, regular sleep patterns, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat light, soft, and watery foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
