Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been doing well physically. I don't like exercising, and I've been divorced from my wife for 2 years. Our sexual life used to be quite good, but recently I've been feeling that I lack stamina, and I lose my erection during intercourse. I know this is a symptom of premature ejaculation. What kind of medication should men take for premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction is primarily characterized by the inability to achieve a fully erect penis or a firm erection, making it impossible to fully perform normal sexual activity. The causes of premature ejaculation can be psychological or physical. Psychological factors are usually temporary, and complete recovery is often possible after eliminating the psychological causes or undergoing treatment. Physical factors account for only 10% to 15% of premature ejaculation cases. Currently, the first-line medication for treatment is phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
