Patient's question:
I started masturbating since I was a child and did it quite frequently. Recently, my family introduced me to a partner, and everything seemed fine, except that I realized I might have premature ejaculation. I think it might be due to my past masturbation habits. I'm really suffering now. Could you please tell me what are the causes of premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Generally, premature ejaculation can be caused by many factors, such as prolonged sexual activity, kidney deficiency, and, most importantly, psychological reasons like tension and fear. Treatment primarily involves adjusting diet and lifestyle. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination and then receive treatment based on the specific cause. If the cause is organic, it is important to promptly treat conditions like phimosis or prostatitis. Regular physical exercise should be actively engaged in to improve physical and mental health, as well as enhance mental control. Consuming foods that support kidney health and semen retention, such as chestnuts, softshell turtle, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys, is beneficial. For premature ejaculation patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility.
