Patient's question:
I am 36 years old with a history of sexual activity. Currently, I am experiencing severe neurasthenia, feeling lethargic during the day, and my erection during sex is not very strong. Sometimes, I reach orgasm quickly.Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation refers to a sexual dysfunction where, after the penis is inserted into the vagina, the female has not yet reached orgasm, and the male's sexual intercourse time is shorter than 2 minutes, leading to premature ejaculation and subsequent sexual disharmony. Generally, 30% of men experience this condition. Although the problem is minor, it can reduce sexual quality and may lead to other sexual dysfunctions such as premature ejaculation, with severe consequences. It should be taken seriously and treated early. Treatment primarily involves the use of some antidepressants and sedatives. For those with organic inflammation, antibiotics are used to treat the underlying condition. Anesthetics or similar medications may also be used to reduce the sensitivity of the glans penis. If necessary, consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to check if the issue is caused by kidney deficiency is recommended. It is also important to appropriately control the frequency of sexual activity. Medications such as Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan (Golden Lock Firm Essence Pill) or Nan Bao Jiaonang (Male Treasure Capsule) can be taken to stabilize the condition. In severe cases, a doctor should be consulted for a thorough examination to determine if there are other underlying causes.
