Patient's question:
It seems like I've had premature ejaculation for two months. I only have one testicle. Will this affect my sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description, there are two possible situations:1. You mentioned that you only have one testicle. This could be cryptorchidism (undescended testicle). If the testicle is not located in the scrotum, it is recommended to undergo a testicular descent surgery. Because if the testicle remains outside the scrotum for a long time, its function may be lost, or it may even lead to cancer. You are currently 19 years old, so you should go to the hospital immediately for an examination to determine whether surgery is necessary.
2. You mentioned that you might have premature ejaculation. If a person occasionally fails to achieve sufficient erection or sexual duration during intercourse, it is not considered erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. This situation may be related to environmental, psychological, or other factors. However, some people, when experiencing this, often suspect they have a sexual dysfunction, overthinking and worsening their mental burden, which leads to more disharmony in sexual life. Additionally, if you do not have regular sexual activity, it is normal to occasionally have one or two instances of this. So, there is no need to worry too much. Once you establish a regular sexual routine in the future, your sexual experience and skills will naturally improve.
Considering everything, you should prioritize addressing your cryptorchidism issue first.
