Patient's question:
I am currently living with my girlfriend, and I have premature ejaculation. I usually ejaculate within less than a minute. I used to have a habit of masturbation as well, 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 inflammatory conditions. Once these external inflammations are resolved, the premature ejaculation will also be cured without treatment. Additionally, psychological counseling, behavioral therapy, and medication can lead to self-recovery.
