Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the original line breaks preserved:"I and my girlfriend sometimes last for 4-5 minutes, sometimes for more than 10 minutes, except for those times when it lasts for 40 minutes. Is this premature ejaculation? Besides, the crown of my glans always itches, and I can't help but scratch it. What should I do about premature ejaculation when I'm with my girlfriend?"
Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation may make some patients only remember the harm it brings to sexual function, but in fact, it's not just that. After men suffer from premature ejaculation, it can affect their lives, work, and even families.1. Low spirits, affecting work: The symptoms of premature ejaculation manifest as bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, yellow and turbid urine, itching of the private parts, red tongue, yellow coating, wiry and rapid pulse, and long-term accompanying symptoms such as low spirits, fatigue, restlessness at night, thin and cold semen, and nervousness. These severely affect work and life.
2. Loss of confidence, worsening the condition: Premature ejaculation makes men feel like they "can't do it anymore," leading to psychological issues, a decline in confidence, and further worsening the condition, creating a vicious cycle.
