Patient's question:
I recently noticed that there's something a bit wrong with my sexual function. Every time I have sex with my wife, I always finish within less than 5 minutes, which is really boring. When I chatted with friends, I mentioned premature ejaculation. Could you please tell me exactly what premature ejaculation is?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation refers to a man's inability to maintain an erection in sexual intercourse, where the penis has not yet entered the vagina or has entered and withdrawn less than 15 times, or ejaculation occurs within 3-5 minutes after insertion, with the female partner not yet reaching sexual satisfaction. There are many reasons that can lead to premature ejaculation, such as physical condition, emotional factors, etc. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, infections in the male urinary and perinatal system, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, endocrine disorders, and neuropsychiatric factors, can all cause premature ejaculation. In addition to premature ejaculation caused by physical, pathological, and environmental factors, dysfunction of liver and kidney function can also lead to sexual dysfunction.
