Patient's question:
What is premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
??Hello, according to your description, premature ejaculation is the most common form of erectile dysfunction, with an incidence rate of more than one-third among adult males. The definition of premature ejaculation is still controversial, typically evaluated based on the male's ejaculation latency period or the frequency with which the female reaches orgasm during intercourse. For example, if it is defined as the male's inability to control ejaculation during intercourse, then ejaculation occurring before or immediately after the penis is inserted into the vagina would be the standard. Alternatively, it could be defined as the frequency with which the female reaches orgasm during intercourse being less than 50%, but these definitions are not universally accepted. This is because the male's ejaculation latency period is influenced by factors such as age, duration of abstinence, physical condition, and psychological state, while the frequency of female orgasm is also affected by physical condition, emotional changes, and the surrounding environment. Additionally, the length of the ejaculation latency period varies among individuals. Generally, it is considered normal for a healthy male to reach ejaculation 2 to 6 minutes after the penis is inserted into the vagina.
