What category of disease does premature ejaculation belong to?

Patient's question:

1...5 years

Doctor's answer:

Ejaculatory dysfunction, a type of male sexual dysfunction. The causes of premature ejaculation can primarily be divided into two main categories: psychological and physiological (habitual premature ejaculation and pathological premature ejaculation). Premature ejaculation refers to a sexual intercourse disorder where, after the penis is inserted into the vagina, the female has not yet reached orgasm, and the male's sexual intercourse duration is shorter than 2 minutes, leading to early ejaculation and resulting in sexual dissatisfaction. Generally, 30% of men experience this condition. Although the issue may seem minor, it can reduce sexual quality and may also lead to other sexual dysfunctions such as impotence. The consequences are severe, and it should be taken seriously and treated promptly. It is generally understood that premature ejaculation refers to the phenomenon where a man, after achieving penile erection, either before entering the vagina, or while just entering or even before starting to thrust, prematurely ejaculates, followed by natural penile flaccidity and entering a refractory period. Clinically, ejaculation occurring before the penis enters the vagina is diagnosed as premature ejaculation. Additionally, if a man enters the vagina for intercourse but quickly ejaculates without much thrusting, it is also defined as premature ejaculation.
II. Causes of Premature Ejaculation
One cause is habitual premature ejaculation, referring to adults who have consistently experienced premature ejaculation during sexual intercourse. These individuals have normal sexual physiological functions and strong penile erections. Symptoms include heightened sexual desire, strong penile erections, and an urgent need for intercourse, most commonly seen in young and middle-aged men. (They want to ejaculate quickly, so under the control of the nervous system, they do so).
