Patient's question:
I'm realizing that during sexual activity, sometimes I lose my erection quickly. Is this called premature ejaculation? I want to go to the hospital for a check-up but feel embarrassed and don't know how to bring it up. What causes premature ejaculation? Can this condition be self-cured?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation is mainly caused by excessive masturbation, kidney deficiency, excessive pressure, or symptoms of sexual dysfunction. It is important to avoid frequent masturbation or sexual activity to prevent conditions like impotence and premature ejaculation. It is recommended to take traditional Chinese medicine for tonifying the kidneys and boosting yang, and to practice proper self-care while closely monitoring the condition. If there is no improvement, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to identify the specific cause and receive timely treatment. Early ejaculation can be stabilized with treatment, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan during the course of therapy.
