Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that I have premature ejaculation. Intercourse usually lasts more than ten minutes. Before I didn't have a girlfriend, so I had the habit of masturbation. Generally, I would do it two or three times a week, sometimes more. Even at night, if I didn't masturbate, I couldn't fall asleep. Previously, masturbation usually took me about fifteen minutes before I ejaculated, but now it only takes me one or two minutes.Doctor's answer:
Most patients try to divert their thoughts to other aspects such as food, entertainment, etc. during sexual intercourse to prolong the latency period of ejaculation, or use methods like condoms or alcohol, but these methods are often ineffective. Instead, they frequently lead to decreased libido, sexual pleasure disorders, and even erectile dysfunction, thereby worsening the condition. Therefore, the treatment of premature ejaculation should be based on the cause of the condition and appropriate treatment methods should be selected.
