Patient's question:
I met my husband through an introduction, and we got married after less than a year of dating. After the wedding, I realized that he wasn't performing well in bed—his stamina was so short that he couldn't last more than a minute before ejaculation. This premature ejaculation has greatly affected our relationship, and we constantly argue every day. I'm really struggling with this. Hello, is severe premature ejaculation treatable?Doctor's answer:
It can be treated. Currently, the main medication for premature ejaculation is 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitors. This medication is generally taken orally 3 hours before sexual activity and can prolong the latency period of ejaculation to treat premature ejaculation. There are several causes of premature ejaculation, with the most common being psychological factors. Next, there are also pathological factors. It is recommended that you have your partner visit a urology department in the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the cause of premature ejaculation, and then appropriate treatment can be provided based on the examination results. In daily life, it is important to encourage him and maintain open communication between the couple. Engaging in more foreplay can enhance sexual harmony.
