Patient's question:
I used to really enjoy sex, but I knew it had certain risks. After getting a girlfriend, I gave it up. However, now that I'm married and having sex with my wife, I finish in just ten minutes. I want to know if this is considered premature ejaculation? How is premature ejaculation defined? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Frequent and long-term sexual activity can lead to sexual dysfunction, including impotence and premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation is defined as the inability to control ejaculation during sexual intercourse when the penis is erect, either before or shortly after it enters the vagina. Based on the situation you described, achieving a sexual intercourse duration of ten minutes is normal and does not qualify as premature ejaculation. You can actively exercise to improve your physical fitness, consume more foods rich in zinc and protein, and take traditional Chinese medicine for kidney toning to support your health.
