Patient's question:
I have been living with my boyfriend for several years. When we first started living together, we had frequent sexual activity, and our sex life was always harmonious. Lately, every time we have sex, my boyfriend quickly loses his erection. He's very worried and says it's premature ejaculation, premature ejaculation. I feel like these two things are not the same. Is premature ejaculation the same as erectile dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
No. The causes of premature ejaculation are various, such as frequent sexual activity, excessive foreskin, psychological factors, and disease-related factors like prostatitis, as well as neurological factors, etc. Your situation clearly involves the factor of frequent sexual activity. Additionally, the harm caused by frequent sexual activity is significant, making it highly likely to lead to inflammation of the urinary and reproductive systems, such as prostatitis. When the prostate is inflamed, it can affect the control of sexual nerves, leading to premature ejaculation again. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination at a reputable hospital and actively treat the condition. Severe cases may result in premature ejaculation.Furthermore, during the treatment period for premature ejaculation, the patient's dietary habits and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light and nutritious foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
