Patient's question:
Married to my husband for over a year, we haven't been able to get pregnant successfully. We both went for thorough medical check-ups and found that my husband has premature ejaculation issues. In the past few months, he has been taking medication and exercising to treat it, but the results haven't been significant—things are still the same. So, I wanted to ask if doctors can effectively treat premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can lead to premature ejaculation. First, it is necessary to identify the correct cause before treating the symptoms accordingly. Some men experience premature ejaculation due to psychological factors, in which case medication and psychological counseling may be required. Others may have excessive foreskin, which causes pain during sexual activity, leading to increased sexual desire over time and eventually resulting in premature ejaculation. In some cases, it may be due to declining kidney function, requiring gradual conditioning through traditional Chinese medicine or herbal remedies, such as using herbs that support kidney health.
