Patient's question:
I have been married for over a year, and my sex life has always been unsatisfactory with my wife. She is completely uninterested in sex. I know it's because of my premature ejaculation. I want to ask if premature ejaculation in men can interfere with conception?Doctor's answer:
From the penis entering the vagina to ejaculation, it is generally considered premature ejaculation if it is less than 2 minutes. The reasons for premature ejaculation are relatively numerous, such as phimosis leading to increased sensitivity, or conditions like sexual activity and prostatitis. Generally, these would not affect fertility unless sexual intercourse is very severe. In the case of severe prostatitis, it may affect sperm quality, which could then impact conception. In such cases, targeted treatment is necessary to fully recover.
