Patient's question:
I used to really enjoy sex, and I would have sex whenever I wanted to release. Recently, I got a girlfriend, and during our first time having sex, I ejaculated in less than two minutes. She said I might have premature ejaculation and suggested I get checked. What is premature ejaculation? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Frequent sexual activity can lead to premature ejaculation. In most cases, sexual intercourse lasts no more than two minutes, and if ejaculation occurs again, it is a symptom of premature ejaculation. It is generally related to excessive sensitivity of the glans. This can be stabilized by wearing a condom locally. It is also important to prevent it by avoiding psychological stress. If it is due to kidney deficiency or sexual activity-induced, stop having sex and take traditional Chinese medicine for replenishing the kidneys at the same time.
