Patient's question:
A 49-year-old man has noticed that his sexual function has been declining recently. Additionally, he has been experiencing premature ejaculation shortly after penetration. He is asking: What are the possible causes of premature ejaculation in men?Doctor's answer:
The causes of premature ejaculation are primarily influenced by these factors. Currently, psychological issues in men account for the majority of cases. For example, some men may have witnessed negative events during their childhood or had an unpleasant first sexual experience. Additionally, a lack of sexual knowledge and frequent exposure to stimulating content can lead to premature ejaculation over time. Moreover, certain medical conditions in men can also trigger the issue, such as prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, pelvic fractures, or high blood sugar. It is recommended to regularly educate oneself about sexual knowledge, promptly address psychological concerns, undergo physical check-ups, and take proper preventive measures.
