Patient's question:
Previously, I could maintain sexual activity for about half an hour, but recently my libido has become twisted. Sometimes I reach orgasm in just 5 minutes. It's said that my condition might be premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. I want to understand the methods hospitals use to treat these conditions and plan to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.Doctor's answer:
Methods for treating erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation Currently, there are many methods for treating premature ejaculation, which can be broadly categorized into four main types: behavioral therapy, medication, physical therapy, and surgical treatment. Behavioral therapy generally involves consciously controlling frequency, intensity, hesitation, and enhancing techniques during sexual activity. While it produces significant short-term effects, it is not stable in the long term and is usually used as an adjunctive treatment. Medication treatment includes oral medications and topical medications. The principle of oral medications is to inhibit the nerve irradiation threshold to delay ejaculation, while topical medications are primarily applied to sensitive areas such as the glans, coronal sulcus, and frenulum to reduce sensitivity. The disadvantage of medication treatment is that it does not fundamentally solve the problem.
