Patient's question:
Because of my work reasons, I and my wife are not in the same city. I go back home only once a week, sometimes every two weeks. But I've noticed that every time we have sex with each other, I lose my erection in less than five minutes, which makes my wife very unhappy. In my case, how can I be considered to have premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if the sexual intercourse duration is shorter than five minutes, it can be considered as premature ejaculation. Your condition may be caused by factors such as long-term abstinence from sexual activity or mental tension. It is recommended to avoid mental tension during sexual activity. You can use condoms or local anesthetic medications to reduce the sensitivity of the glans, such as various delay creams or sprays, which can help treat premature ejaculation to some extent.
