Patient's question:
I am 22 years old. I started masturbating at the age of 16 and 37, and it was quite frequent. Recently, my family introduced me to a partner, and everything is great except that I've realized I might have premature ejaculation. I think it might be due to my past masturbation habits. I am really suffering now. Please ask: What are the common methods to treat premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction is a disease, and it is the most common form of ejaculation dysfunction, with an incidence rate of over one-third among adult males. The definition of premature ejaculation has been controversial, typically evaluated based on the male's ejaculation latency period or the frequency with which the female reaches orgasm during intercourse. If it is defined as the male losing control over ejaculation during intercourse, then ejaculation before or immediately after the penis enters the vagina is the standard. Alternatively, it can be defined as the female reaching orgasm less than 50% of the time during intercourse. For patients with premature ejaculation, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it can affect physical health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
