Patient's question:
Recently, my mental state hasn't been good, and I'm under a lot of work pressure. During sexual activity, I often have difficulty getting erect. The doctor said this is a symptom of premature ejaculation. I'd like to ask what are the specific manifestations of premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation, also known as erectile dysfunction, refers to the condition where the hardness of the penis during sexual intercourse is insufficient for penetration, or the duration of the erection is not long enough to complete a satisfactory sexual life. Male sexual dysfunction includes decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, sexual climax and ejaculation dysfunction, and penis flaccidity dysfunction. Among these, erectile dysfunction is the most common male sexual dysfunction. Premature ejaculation is a phenomenon where a man, after achieving an erection, enters the vagina before or just before penetration, or during penetration but before withdrawal, experiences ejaculation and then naturally weakens and enters a refractory period. Premature ejaculation is also defined as systemic symptoms such as anxiety, depression, dizziness, mental fatigue, and memory loss.
