Patient's question:
I am currently living with my girlfriend, and I have premature ejaculation. I usually ejaculate within less than a minute. Previously, I also had the habit of masturbation, and I always felt extremely embarrassed after sex, worrying that my girlfriend would be upset with me. I want to seek treatment for this. What should I do about premature ejaculation during sex?Doctor's answer:
The causes of premature ejaculation include phimosis, paraphimosis, prostatitis, tension, anxiety, depression, work pressure, survival pressure, frequent sexual activity, masturbation, and more. These factors can trigger the recurrence of premature ejaculation. If the premature ejaculation is caused by organic inflammation, such as phimosis or prostatitis, it is necessary to first treat these inflammations. Once these external inflammations are cured, the premature ejaculation will also be resolved without further treatment. Additionally, psychological counseling, behavioral therapy, and medication can help achieve self-recovery.
