Patient's question:
I have been divorced for over a year. Intimacy has not been with my wife at all, and I am very reluctant towards it. I know it's because of my premature ejaculation. I want to ask, can premature ejaculation not be treated?Doctor's answer:
Due to premature ejaculation possibly being related to conditions such as kidney deficiency or prostatitis, it is necessary to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the cause before adopting a cause-specific treatment. In daily life, it is important to develop good habits, engage in outdoor activities, avoid sexual activity, and maintain a non-frequent sexual lifestyle. Additionally, the time it takes for a man to reach orgasm after penetration varies among individuals. Generally, it is considered normal for a healthy male to reach orgasm again 2 to 6 minutes after inserting his penis into the vagina. A man's refractory period is influenced by factors such as age, cold sensitivity, the time since the last ejaculation, physical condition, and emotional state. Similarly, the frequency of a woman's sexual arousal is affected by her physical condition, emotional changes, and the surrounding environment. If there are symptoms of premature ejaculation, it can be treated, primarily through cause-specific therapy.
