Patient's question:
During masturbation, ejaculation occurs within a few minutes. Is this a symptom of premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Premature ejaculation refers to a person who reaches orgasm before or shortly after the penis enters the vagina, with the duration often being less than 2 minutes. The causes of premature ejaculation can be categorized into psychological, organic, and other types. There are many reasons for psychological premature ejaculation, such as marital discord, anxiety or fear during sexual intercourse, and tension, all of which can lead to increased excitement in the cerebral cortex and central nervous system, thereby causing premature ejaculation. Organic premature ejaculation may be caused by chronic prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, and other conditions. Other causes of premature ejaculation, such as excessive foreskin or a history of masturbation, can also lead to premature ejaculation. Since the causes of premature ejaculation vary, the treatments also differ. To treat premature ejaculation, it is essential to first diagnose the underlying cause and then provide targeted treatment.
