Patient's question:
I started masturbating when I was in high school, and it has been about five or six years so far. In February of this year, I started dating a girlfriend. Last week, I had sexual intercourse with my girlfriend, but every time we did, I experienced difficulty with my penis getting erect. It would become soft within a few minutes, and after doing it a few times, none of the sexual encounters were complete, which made me very embarrassed. Could you please explain what might be causing my penis erection problem and how I should treat it?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 intercourse time. 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.
