Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I may have recently just started experiencing some premature ejaculation symptoms. Is it considered premature ejaculation if it's about five minutes every time? Before, it used to be much longer, and now it's making me quite worried and scared. I don't know if this situation counts as premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation refers to a very short duration of sexual intercourse (a duration of 3-5 minutes is considered normal). If the penis ejects before insertion into the vagina or before any contact between partners, it is classified as severe premature ejaculation. The dangers of premature ejaculation should not be underestimated. Therefore, men who suffer from it should absolutely not feel ashamed to talk about it or adopt a attitude, nor should they resort to treatment. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination and diagnosis to confirm the condition and then receive targeted treatment.Advice: Do not panic if you suffer from premature ejaculation. In addition to physiological, pathological, and environmental factors, dysfunction in liver and kidney function can also lead to a decline in sexual function. It is best to consult a doctor, identify the underlying cause, and then undergo treatment under the guidance of a clinical physician to avoid impacting future life.
