Patient's question:
I used to have normal sexual activity, usually lasting around 20 minutes. However, after my wife got pregnant, we had frequent sexual intercourse. Now the sexual activity has returned to normal, but I've noticed that for about two months, the time has suddenly become very short. Sometimes it's over in just one moment. I thought nothing of it, but now it happens every time, and it's causing me a lot of psychological pressure. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The duration of sexual activity varies greatly among individuals. It is generally believed that anything not exceeding two or three minutes is considered normal, with no uniform standard. In many cases, psychological factors such as excessive tension or excitement, overexertion, poor physical fitness, or an overly long foreskin may lead to premature ejaculation. In such cases, a foreskin surgery may be necessary, or medication such as Guilu Shenkang Wan or Sertraline can be used. A period of cold therapy may also be recommended. For premature ejaculation patients, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may negatively impact overall health.
