Patient's question:
During sex, sometimes it gets soft halfway through but doesn't reach climax. Does this indicate premature ejaculation or sexual dysfunction? What are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction generally has several types: The first is habitual premature ejaculation, characterized by high libido, strong penile erection, and an urgent need for intercourse, most commonly seen in young and middle-aged adults. The second is age-related premature ejaculation, which is caused by a decline in sexual function. The third is occasional premature ejaculation, which often occurs during times of physical and mental exhaustion or emotional upheaval.Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that premature ejaculation is more often due to deficiency conditions. The symptoms of Yin deficiency and excess fire include: restlessness, irritability, soreness in the bones and joints, weakness in the lower back and knees, easy penile erection, urgent need for intercourse, and frequent awakenings during sleep. The symptoms of Kidney Qi deficiency include: weakness, frequent illness, aversion to cold, clear and frequent urination, and weak penile erection.
