Patient's question:
How long is considered premature ejaculation? Is it 1 point, 2.5 points, or 5 points?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your situation is not premature ejaculation, but rather unstable sexual performance. Premature ejaculation is defined as a condition where, in a fixed sexual partner relationship lasting more than 1 year, the intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT, the time from vaginal insertion to ejaculation) is less than 2 minutes in more than half of sexual encounters, and it is not influenced by alcohol or medication, nor is there any underlying genitourinary disease. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm premature ejaculation can cause to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary habits, avoiding stimulating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
