Patient's question:
I haven't had a girlfriend yet, so I've developed bad habits in daily life, such as masturbation. Recently, I started dating a girl who is quite compatible with me, and we had sex again, but I experienced premature ejaculation. Is such premature ejaculation caused by masturbation?Doctor's answer:
Excessive masturbation for a long time can lead to premature ejaculation. Prolonged and excessive masturbation can cause a decrease or increase in sensitivity of the corpora cavernosa and glans penis, or an increase in the sensitivity of the frenulum, which can result in premature ejaculation. Moreover, the premature ejaculation caused by this is relatively easy to treat and can be alleviated through topical medications or penile massage methods. Commonly used medications include lidocaine cream, among others. Please follow medical advice for specific medication use. For premature ejaculation patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medications in a timely manner and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
