Patient's question:
24 years old. Male with a long history of masturbation. Recently, he just started dating a girlfriend, and during sexual activity, he found that he couldn't get an erection at all. Even when he did, it didn't last very long. Is my situation impotence? Please ask: How can impotence and premature ejaculation be treated?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation, also known as erectile dysfunction, refers to a condition where, in a relationship between a man and a woman, the man's penis is not firm enough to insert into the vagina or cannot maintain its firmness to complete the entire sexual intercourse process for at least 3 months. It is necessary to pay attention to prevention of premature ejaculation in daily life, because the occurrence of premature ejaculation may be related to excessive indulgence in sexual activity. Therefore, one should cultivate a calm mind, abstain from sexual intercourse, and if it is related to general weakness, malnutrition, or overwork, appropriate nutrition should be enhanced or a balance between work and rest should be maintained, while restraining sexual desires.
