Patient's question:
His husband is not very lasting in terms of sex, he finishes instantly. He is a bit troubled by this and wants to know the reason, to seek treatment or care. His foreskin is quite long, and he suspects it might be the reason, wanting to consider a circumcision. Is there a connection between premature ejaculation and the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
The causes of premature ejaculation are relatively numerous, and it is also related to conditions such as excessive foreskin and phimosis. When the foreskin is excessively long, it can lead to a higher sensitivity of the male glans, as the foreskin tightly covers the glans, preventing it from friction with underwear, thereby increasing glans sensitivity. Patients with premature ejaculation caused by excessive foreskin can undergo surgery for treatment or use local topical anesthetics for relief.
