Patient's question:
My husband is 37 years old this year, and I don't know why, he suffers from premature ejaculation during sex. I asked a doctor, does premature ejaculation affect having children?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction does not directly affect the ability to have children, but some conditions that lead to premature ejaculation may affect sperm quality, thereby impacting fertility. For example, prostate diseases or issues with sexual hormone secretion can be such conditions. If premature ejaculation is caused by excessive sensitivity of the glans, it does not affect fertility. Therefore, if you are concerned about normal conception, it is necessary to have a sperm analysis to assess sperm quality for prediction, rather than diagnosing based on the degree of premature ejaculation.
