Patient's question:
Doctor, I'd like to ask, can phimosis cause premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Hello,During childhood and adolescence, the glans penis is mostly or entirely hidden inside the foreskin.
As the sexual organs develop, it gradually emerges from inside. Since the glans is an area rich in nerve endings and highly sensitive to external stimuli, the sensitive glans gradually becomes less sensitive due to friction and irritation from clothing and other sources. This increases the threshold for external stimulation. As a result, during sexual intercourse later on, it is less likely to be overly sensitive and prone to premature ejaculation.
If the foreskin remains uncircumcised into adulthood, even slight contact with the sexual organs can cause the glans surface to become extremely sensitive, easily leading to rapid ejaculation and premature ejaculation.
