Patient's question:
Between the ages of 19 and 24, there was frequent sexual intercourse. By age 24, premature ejaculation began to reappear. Between the ages of 24 and 27, sexual intercourse occurred once a month. Now at 27, the premature ejaculation is still severe. At a top-tier traditional Chinese hospital, I took Chinese herbal medicine for over a month, but it only got worse. (Before taking the medicine, I could occasionally get an erection. After the third week of taking the medicine, my erection completely recovered, but it started to decline from the fifth week. By the fifth week of taking the medicine, I could no longer get an erection and didn’t dare to continue.) I went to the urology department of a top-tier hospital. Not wanting to take medicine blindly, I asked the doctor to perform a thorough examination first. The doctor said there was no such examination available and suggested taking medicine to stabilize the condition. I declined the prescription because I wanted to undergo a thorough examination to find the root cause before taking medicine. I just want to ask the doctor, is it really true that Western medicine cannot diagnose premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is recommended that you visit the urology department of a regular hospital for a follow-up examination. Have your prostatic fluid and sexual hormones tested, as well as a thorough examination of the blood flow to the penis. First, it is advised to quit unhealthy sexual habits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain a regular sex life to prevent excessive fatigue and drug abuse. For patients with premature ejaculation, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect your physical health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular sex life in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting.
