Patient's question:
I have always had the habit of masturbation. Recently, I've noticed that I finish very quickly during masturbation. I haven't had actual sexual intercourse yet, and I'm very worried. Could this be premature ejaculation? Please ask: How long does it take to treat premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation refers to the inability to control ejaculation, where a man reaches orgasm before or immediately after penetration into the vagina!! Its causes may be psychological, or it could be due to conditions such as heightened penile sensitivity, balanoposthitis, or prostatitis. Treatment should be based on the underlying cause, with close cooperation from the partner, and may involve sensate focus training to eliminate misconceptions and guilt about sexual behavior, and to restore natural sexual perception. During intercourse, using condoms or applying lidocaine spray or cream to the glans penis can help prolong the refractory period through local anesthesia. Since premature ejaculation tends to recur easily, long-term medication may be necessary.
