Patient's question:
I am 22 years old. I started masturbating at the age of 16 and 38, and I did it quite frequently. Recently, my family introduced me to a partner, and everything seems fine, except that I realized I might have premature ejaculation. I think it might be due to my past masturbation habits. I am really suffering now. Could you please tell me: What are the harms of premature ejaculation, and how can it be improved?Doctor's answer:
If the time from the penis entering the vagina to ejaculation is not more than 2 minutes, it is considered premature ejaculation. It is generally caused by psychological and mental factors, or may be due to glans sensitivity, kidney qi deficiency, prostate diseases, etc. Treatment for premature ejaculation must identify the underlying cause. It is recommended to visit a hospital early for thorough examinations such as glans sensitivity tests, prostatic fluid tests, and color Doppler ultrasound to determine the specific condition and then provide targeted treatment. If no abnormalities are found, a follow-up visit to the traditional Chinese medicine department may be necessary. If the issue is kidney qi deficiency, oral Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan can be used for treatment. If the glans is overly sensitive, delayed-release sprays can also be used for symptomatic relief. For premature ejaculation patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely, targeted treatment and maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoiding overexertion and paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
