Patient's question:
Hello, I am a 28-year-old young man. I have a history of masturbation. During sexual intercourse, it lasts a maximum of five minutes, which has seriously affected our marital relationship. For this, I am very distressed. I have also bought and taken many medications, but they have not been very effective. I wonder if you can help me solve this problem. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Sexual intercourse lasting 5 minutes is considered mild premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation refers to the inability to control ejaculation during sexual activity, where a man ejaculates shortly after the penis is inserted into the vagina (less than 2 minutes), or a woman reaches orgasm less than 50% of the time during intercourse. However, neither the man nor his partner should prematurely label the issue as premature ejaculation, as this can create psychological stress and potentially delay treatment. In this matter, professional doctors are your reliable source. Premature ejaculation not only affects normal sexual life between couples but severe cases may even lead to male infertility. Therefore, if such symptoms appear during sexual activity, it is essential to seek professional urological hospital treatment as soon as possible to identify the root cause and receive targeted treatment for premature ejaculation.Since there are many factors that can lead to male premature ejaculation, relying solely on the man's subjective feelings and descriptions to diagnose the condition is incorrect. Patients with premature ejaculation should promptly visit a professional urological hospital for advanced instrumental examinations to address the underlying causes and receive appropriate treatment.
