Patient's question:
Mainly premature ejaculation. This phenomenon has existed since school days, and I've never sought treatment for it. Now, it's causing me some headaches, as sexual intercourse doesn't last more than three minutes. How can this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if an erection is inserted into the vagina and the thrusting lasts less than two minutes, it is considered normal, with an average duration of 3 to 7 minutes. It is recommended to adjust lifestyle, dietary habits, and sexual techniques to prevent frequent sexual intercourse and overindulgence, avoid overwork and overtime, abstain from alcohol, prevent prolonged sitting, eat less spicy and irritating foods, shorten foreplay time, enhance sexual pleasure, vary sexual positions, and improve communication and mutual cooperation between spouses during sexual activity. Consider treatment based on the results of a thorough examination. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
