Patient's question:
During sexual intercourse, my penis usually enters the woman's body and I ejaculate within 3 to 5 minutes of thrusting. However, I often hear on radio programs that a normal man should be able to thrust for about 20 minutes before ejaculation. What should I do about this situation? Are there any effective medications? I sincerely ask for your guidance, thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is the phenomenon of premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation is a common male sexual dysfunction, and when considering treatment, it's important to first understand the specific causes that trigger it. High work pressure, mental tension, frequent sexual activity, masturbation, excessive (excessive prepuce length), etc., can all lead to premature ejaculation. Treatment should be tailored to the specific cause. If the issue is psychological, it's necessary to manage one's own psychological well-being. For pathological causes, there are traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine therapies, as well as surgical options, each with its own advantages. It is recommended to seek a formal hospital for a detailed diagnosis to ensure specialized treatment for the specific condition, which can achieve the best therapeutic outcome. Wishing you early recovery and good health!
