Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm not married yet, and I'm still a student. I used to have symptoms of sexual intercourse, but now I always feel a lot of pressure. I have a partner, but I'm afraid to get close because I have premature ejaculation. I want to know how to treat premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be classified into organic (mainly caused by diseases such as prostatitis) and non-organic (psychogenic, habitual, or due to normal reasons like excessive foreskin, leading to premature ejaculation). The causes of premature ejaculation can primarily be divided into psychological and physiological aspects. From a treatment perspective, addressing premature ejaculation solely through psychological or physiological methods is still challenging. Additionally, from a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) perspective, it is considered to be caused by kidney deficiency, which falls under the category of non-organic premature ejaculation in Western medicine. If this is the case, it is best to actively and flexibly use TCM for regulation and treatment.
