Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on. Since last year, I've been feeling a severe decline in my sexual function, and sometimes I even experience the phenomenon of not being able to last more than a minute, which makes me very painful. My friend said this might be premature ejaculation, related to the prostate. Is there a connection between premature ejaculation and the prostate?Doctor's answer:
Prostate diseases can lead to premature ejaculation, which is known as secondary premature ejaculation. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, it is caused by prostate inflammation altering local nerve sensitivity and blood circulation. Generally, patients with premature ejaculation can also opt for surgical treatment for secondary premature ejaculation. First, the primary prostate disease needs to be treated, followed by antibiotic treatment and medications to unblock the prostate. For premature ejaculation patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
