Patient's question:
I am 18 years old this year, and I have always had the habit of masturbation. Recently, I found 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 can premature ejaculation be treated and improved quickly?
Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation is when sexual activity lasts less than 2 minutes and persists for more than 6 months, excluding other causes such as substance abuse. With proper treatment, most cases of premature ejaculation can be alleviated or cured. It is necessary to identify the underlying cause, such as (penile sensitivity), (excessive foreskin), (prostatitis), or psychological/mental factors. If premature ejaculation occurs, treatment should target the specific cause. For example, if it is due to (kidney yang deficiency), one can take Wuzi Yanzong Wan. Premature ejaculation can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, proper medication, and a light diet are essential. Patients should avoid stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
