Patient's question:
Men over 40 lose their sex drive, I'm already 43 now, and every time we have sex, it's very unpleasant. Before, I occasionally had premature ejaculation, but in this past year, every time we had sex, I experienced premature ejaculation. Because of this, I feel very distressed. How should premature ejaculation be treated?Doctor's answer:
You are in middle age, and both life and work pressures are quite high. Sometimes you may experience feelings of tension and anxiety, which can lead to decreased libido, reduced sexual function, and occasionally the recurrence of impotence and premature ejaculation. You should actively exercise, release stress, and alleviate feelings of tension and anxiety. Communicate more with your partner. You can take traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the body and enhance Yang. During sexual activity, you can use a condom or apply lidocaine gel to the glans to reduce sensitivity and shorten the duration of intercourse.
