Patient's question:
I'm not sure if I have premature ejaculation. Before getting divorced, I often had sex with my girlfriend, and it was usually no more than one minute. The same was true for intercourse. After the divorce, the time remained about the same. Later, I found that after staying up all night and lying in bed feeling tired, intercourse could last a bit longer.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 dissatisfaction. 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. Additionally, anesthetics or similar medications may be used to reduce the sensitivity of the glans penis. If necessary, consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to determine if the issue is caused by kidney deficiency is recommended, and appropriate control over the frequency of sexual activity is required.
