Patient's question:
Hello doctor! Every time I have sex with my girlfriend, I don't last more than five minutes. Every time my girlfriend says I have premature ejaculation and asks me to get treated. I don't think it's that serious, so I'm asking here. How long is premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, premature ejaculation refers to a symptom where sexual activity time is less than 2 minutes or penile thrusting is around 10 times before ejaculation. There are many causes of premature ejaculation symptoms, such as psychological tension during sex, fear of being discovered by others, or frequent sexual activity by the male partner, prostatitis, etc. Most of them are caused by psychological factors, and true organic diseases are very rare. Therefore, it is recommended that you first relax your mind, and your girlfriend should also encourage you to boost your confidence, believing that things will gradually improve. If you have such symptoms, it is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital for a follow-up examination.
