Patient's question:
I haven't been doing well with my sex life recently. I've been experiencing premature ejaculation, which has made my wife unhappy. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor listened to my story and said it's a sexual dysfunction, that I should seek treatment at a specialized hospital as soon as possible. He prescribed some medication, but it didn't work well. I want to know what exactly this condition refers to.Doctor's answer:
In the five stages of sexual activity—libido, penile erection, sexual intercourse, sexual climax, and ejaculation—men may experience abnormal occurrences in one, several, or all stages, which can affect the normal progression of sexual activity. The most common male sexual dysfunction is abnormal penile erection and ejaculation. Male diseases tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should seek immediate medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
