Patient's question:
My husband is still relatively young, but he got this premature ejaculation. He has always been very regretful about this condition and doesn't want to seek treatment because he feels very ashamed. I mentioned a folk remedy to him: applying white and five times seeds, mixed with vinegar, to the navel to treat premature ejaculation. Can this really work?Doctor's answer:
These two, soaked in vinegar and applied to the navel, are unlikely to be very effective for premature ejaculation. They do have certain functions of tonifying qi and strengthening the kidneys, but when taken internally, their effects are not very significant. Moreover, if the premature ejaculation is not caused by kidney deficiency, using these two Chinese medicines would not be very effective.Do not blindly believe in some folk remedies. If you have premature ejaculation, it is better to undergo a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause before treatment. For cases without organic diseases, medications such as sertraline or dapoxetine hydrochloride can also be used for treatment. The condition of premature ejaculation tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication.
