Patient's question:
Hello! I've been very troubled recently. Every time I have sex, I finish within 2 minutes, which seems like premature ejaculation. I started masturbating when I was 17, and I still do it now (I'm 24). Is my masturbation habit directly related to my premature ejaculation? Is this condition difficult to treat? If it can be treated, how long does it take, and what is the approximate cost to cure it? I'm currently in Foshan, so which hospital in Foshan should I go to for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many methods available for treating premature ejaculation currently. General hospitals can usually treat premature ejaculation effectively. Both partners can participate in the treatment. Education on sexual physiology and other related aspects for both partners can help alleviate mental tension and eliminate fear. For some newly married men, experiencing one or two instances of premature ejaculation due to excitement is not uncommon. It is important not to assume a serious condition has developed due to occasional premature ejaculation. As long as sexual issues are approached correctly and a regular sexual routine is maintained, premature ejaculation can be completely avoided.The pain of premature ejaculation affects both partners. If a woman's sexual desires are not satisfied for a long time or if she is unable to conceive, it may lead to dissatisfaction, disdain, or even hostility towards her partner. Therefore, women should recognize that this inability to control ejaculation is caused by psychological factors or other diseases. If a man experiences premature ejaculation, the woman should show extra affection, understanding, and emotional support, which can help him recover more quickly.
Changing sexual positions can also be helpful. For example, adopting the female-on-top position allows the woman to perform vigorous friction on the sexual organs, while the man, in a passive position, remains relaxed with lower excitement, enabling both partners to reach climax simultaneously. The side position can also be used to avoid intense hip movements and reduce blood flow diversion from the pelvis to the lower limbs due to pelvic congestion syndrome. Due to reduced effort and smaller movement amplitude, the man's excitement develops more slowly, which can help delay ejaculation.
Choosing the right time for sexual activity can also be effective. For instance, having sex in the morning after waking up can provide energy; sleeping first before sex can avoid tension. After a single ejaculation, having sex again that night will definitely extend the duration. Alternatively, masturbating first to reach orgasm and then having sex after the refractory period has passed can also achieve these goals.
