How long is considered premature ejaculation?

Patient's question:

I am 33 years old this year, and I should be considered a man at his prime. However, every time I have sexual intercourse with my wife, I find that I cannot last very long and finish quickly. I don't know what's wrong with me. Is this considered premature ejaculation?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, premature ejaculation is believed to refer to the phenomenon where a man, after achieving an erection, either before entering the vagina, or while just entering or shortly after entering without thrusting, has already reached ejaculation. The penis then naturally becomes flaccid and enters a refractory period. In clinical diagnosis, ejaculation occurring before the penis enters the vagina is confirmed as premature ejaculation. Additionally, if a man who can enter the vagina for sexual intercourse achieves ejaculation very quickly without any movement, it is also defined as premature ejaculation.
In addition to treating premature ejaculation, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
