Patient's question:
My partner is 30 years old, and his libido was never very strong to begin with. We've only been divorced for nine months, and we usually have sex only three times a week, but each session lasts about ten minutes. Recently, although he can get an erection, he becomes soft after inserting for one or two minutes without reaching orgasm. Is this considered premature ejaculation? Or is it considered erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can lead to premature ejaculation. If you suffer from this condition, it is crucial not to self-medicate with warming tonics. It is essential to use medicine based on syndrome differentiation according to the specific condition. Currently, there are many medications available for treating this disorder, but it is best to go to the hospital and consult a doctor for a definitive diagnosis and treatment. Chinese patent medicines such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan and Jin can be used for conditioning and care. Rest is also important. Consuming foods that have the effect of tonifying the kidneys and consolidating essence, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, soft-shell turtles, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys, can be beneficial. In fact, having premature ejaculation is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the condition. As long as symptoms are detected early and treatment is administered accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
