Patient's question:
I used to have a 3-year sexual history. This year, I finally got married to my girlfriend. However, after we got married, I realized I had a problem—during intimate moments, I couldn’t get hard. My wife also mocked me, and I felt too ashamed to face her. It’s said this is premature ejaculation. What are the symptoms of premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
1. The penis cannot achieve full erection or maintain a firm erection, making it impossible to fully engage in normal sexual life.2. Young men may repeatedly experience anxiety and irritability along with premature ejaculation due to insufficient emotional communication with sexual partners or unestablished sexual habits.
3. Occasional repeated episodes of premature ejaculation, where the next sexual encounter is completely normal, may be due to temporary tension or overexertion and are not indicative of a medical condition.
4. Although premature ejaculation occurs frequently and repeatedly, the penis can still achieve and maintain an erection in the morning or during sexual activity, which is often caused by psychological factors.
5. Persistent and worsening premature ejaculation is usually caused by organic inflammation. It is recommended that if there is a possibility of erectile dysfunction, one should seek medical attention early for thorough tests, such as erectile function assessments and detailed examinations of sexual function, to determine the appropriate treatment based on the results.
