Patient's question:
At the age of 15, I started masturbating, about three to four times a day. Now I've noticed some symptoms of premature ejaculation. How should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Self-masturbation is not a direct cause of premature ejaculation. Moderate self-masturbation is normal, while excessive self-masturbation can lead to a decline in sexual performance to some extent. The main causes of premature ejaculation in men include phimosis, prostatitis, psychological factors, excessive penile sensitivity, and masturbation habits. Therefore, if we have phimosis or paraphimosis, we should undergo circumcision at an early stage to remove this potential risk, which can help prevent and treat premature ejaculation. We should also adjust our mindset, relax our minds during sexual activity, use penile dorsal nerve blockage surgery to completely address the issue of excessive penile sensitivity, and avoid excessive masturbation, preferably quitting altogether.
