Patient's question:
Recently, when having sex with my wife, I discovered that I have premature ejaculation, which made me very worried. I want to consult if premature ejaculation can be cured.Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation refers to sexual intercourse where the male reaches orgasm prematurely before the female reaches climax, and the duration of intercourse is less than 5 minutes, leading to sexual dissatisfaction. Currently, the causes of premature ejaculation are not only psychological or local penile factors but should also consider systemic diseases such as urological, endocrine, and neurological issues. Standardized treatment can lead to self-recovery. The first step in treating premature ejaculation should be abstinence, followed by the use of herbs to nourish and invigorate the Yang of the kidneys. Changing sexual positions, temporarily living together, and consciously avoiding sexual stimulation can also be helpful.
