Patient gender maleDoctor's answer:
Hello, condoms are a male contraceptive tool that prevent semen from directly entering the vagina. However, they are also used as a tool to treat premature ejaculation. Since the main cause of premature ejaculation is often excessive sexual excitement and a low stimulation threshold, wearing a condom during intercourse aims to reduce the excitatory sensation at the head of the penis, raise the stimulation threshold, delay the arrival of the male's sexual climax, and improve and adjust the conditioned reflex of male ejaculation. Additionally, middle-aged and elderly individuals often experience sexual function decline. Wearing a condom can help maintain the erection of the penis by the constricting band, which acts like a tourniquet, preventing blood from the erect penis. This aids in sustaining the erection and prolonging sexual intercourse, enhancing the harmony of sexual life. Therefore, using condoms has a therapeutic effect on premature ejaculation.
