Patient's question:
Each time I have sexual intercourse with my wife, my erection duration is short, and I ejaculate less than a minute each time. What should I do about a short erection during sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The stimulus threshold is like a "threshold." When it's too low, any stimulus can cross it and cause a response in the tissue, leading to excessive excitability of the tissue. When it's too high, few stimuli can cross it, and the tissue rarely responds, resulting in low excitability. Therefore, the key to treating premature ejaculation lies in raising this "threshold," which means increasing the stimulus threshold. Generally, we often use the following methods to treat it.Both partners participate in the treatment. Education on sexual physiology and other aspects is provided to both partners to alleviate mental tension and eliminate fear. Some men may experience one or two instances of premature ejaculation after marriage due to unusual excitement, which is not uncommon. It's important not to assume a serious illness just because of occasional premature ejaculation. As long as the issue of sex is handled correctly and a regular sexual life is maintained, premature ejaculation can be completely avoided.
The pain caused by premature ejaculation affects both partners. If the woman's sexual desire is not satisfied for a long time or if she is unable to conceive, it is inevitable that she will develop some dissatisfaction, disdain, or even hostility towards her partner. Therefore, women should recognize that this inability to control it is due to psychological factors or other diseases. When a man experiences premature ejaculation, the woman should show extra affection, care, and emotional support, which can help the man recover more quickly.
Change sexual positions. For example, adopting the female-on-top position allows the woman to perform vigorous friction on the sexual organs while the man is in a passive position, with relaxed muscles and low excitability, enabling both partners to reach climax simultaneously. Alternatively, the side position can be used to avoid intense hip movements and reduce blood flow diversion from the pelvic region to the lower limbs due to pelvic congestion syndrome. Because it requires less effort,
