Patient's question:
How long does sexual intercourse have to last to be considered not premature ejaculation? No matter how hard I try, I feel like I can't enjoy it with my girlfriend, and it usually takes about 3 minutes to climax. What kind of help do you need: Is this considered premature ejaculation? What are the causes of premature ejaculation? How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Premature ejaculation refers to the recurrence of ejaculation before the penis enters the vagina, or shortly after entering the vagina, when the woman has not yet reached orgasm, leading to sexual dysfunction. The causes of premature ejaculation can primarily be divided into two major categories: psychological (non-organic) and physical (implying both organic and non-organic factors, such as physical causes like excessive foreskin leading to physical premature ejaculation or non-organic premature ejaculation, while organic refers to premature ejaculation caused by conditions like prostatitis).
