Patient's question:
My buddy, he's a real big smoker, and he smokes a lot. We always try to persuade him to smoke less, but he doesn't listen. Now he called me saying he has premature ejaculation, and I'm wondering if it's related to smoking. Hello, could smoking lead to premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Smoking does not cause the recurrence of premature ejaculation, but if it occurs again, focusing on smoking may lead to a temporary improvement in premature ejaculation. It is important to ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive sexual activity. The premature ejaculation is primarily considered to be caused by kidney deficiency. Symptomatic treatment can be administered using aphrodisiac drugs and tonics for the kidneys. In necessary cases, a detailed ultrasound examination of the urinary system may be required.
