Is it considered premature ejaculation if it takes only three or five minutes?

Patient's question:

It's been almost a year since I haven't seen it, mostly around three to five minutes. Sometimes it takes a bit longer if I have a drink. Can you recommend any medicine to cure it?

Doctor's answer:

The sexual activity of a generally healthy adult male typically lasts 10-15 minutes. If it is less than 5 minutes, it may be considered premature ejaculation. The best outcome is mutual enjoyment. There are several causes that can lead to premature ejaculation, such as excessive foreskin that keeps the glans tightly covered, leading to high sensitivity; rapid or excessive transmission of nerve signals in the penis; frequent sexual activity; psychological factors; urogenital system diseases (such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, epididymitis, etc.); and abnormal hormone levels. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. For severe cases of premature ejaculation, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect.
