Patient's question:
For a long time, I haven't had my foreskin retracted due to prolonged training, smoking, and drinking beer. When having sex with my wife, I have a strong desire to ask if phimosis can lead to premature ejaculation.Doctor's answer:
The definition of premature ejaculation is a condition where the threshold is not met during sexual intercourse, lasting less than one minute, due to excessive sensitivity of the glans. Common causes of glans sensitivity include phimosis in patients, where the penis nerves are overly sensitive. Frequent sexual rest or lack of sexual arousal can also lead to premature ejaculation. The disadvantages of phimosis are numerous. Due to chronic stimulation from urine and smegma under the foreskin, the glans can become inflamed, leading to mucosal erosion. If left untreated, it can result in urinary tract infections and can be transmitted to sexual partners during intercourse. If phimosis is present, it is advisable to seek medical attention to have it removed as soon as possible. This helps promote the healthy growth of the penis and improves the quality of sexual life.
