Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 26 years old, married, and just started dating a girlfriend this year. In the past, when I had sexual needs, they were all through sexual intercourse. I have a sexual history of 7 years. Now, when I have sex with my girlfriend, I finish in less than ten minutes. Doctor, is this symptom premature ejaculation? How is premature ejaculation treated?Doctor's answer:
Sexual activity lasting about ten minutes can also be considered within the normal range. Generally, if the duration of sexual activity is less than five minutes and the woman does not reach orgasm, this situation can be classified as premature ejaculation. There are many treatment methods for premature ejaculation. First, it is important to quit bad habits and prevent tension. Secondly, physical exercise should be done to enhance physical fitness. Many traditional Chinese medicine herbs that tonify the kidneys can be used, or medications that reduce sensitivity can also yield good results.
