Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my reproductive organs seem to be shrinking gradually. When I get erect, it's not as hard or as big as it used to be. Previously, sexual intercourse lasted about 50 minutes, but now I can't even last 20 minutes. I would like to consult an expert to see if this has any impact on my health. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons that can cause impotence and premature ejaculation. In terms of treatment, you can follow the following principles, which may have a certain effect:1. Abstain from masturbation, moderate sexual activity, avoid intense sexual desires, and avoid using repeated intercourse to prolong the second sexual act. This is harmful to health and should be avoided.
2. The emotional state before sexual intercourse greatly affects the speed of ejaculation. To prevent premature ejaculation, it is important to avoid worries, excitement, and tension, and to build confidence while cooperating with treatment.
3. The female partner should be understanding, comforting, and avoid blaming or threatening. Otherwise, it may backfire and hinder the recovery of the condition.
4. Avoid casually and excessively taking aphrodisiacs.
5. There is no uniform standard for the duration of ejaculation. Generally, it is considered to be 2–6 minutes, but ejaculation within a shorter time is also normal as long as both partners feel satisfied. Success should not be measured by the length of time.
