Patient's question:
My husband has had premature ejaculation for over a year. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction is a common disease among male sexual dysfunctions, and the incidence rate among young people has been increasing in recent years, causing young men to lose the sexual happiness that should belong to their age. Regarding why premature ejaculation is becoming more common among the young, the reasons can be roughly summarized as follows:Reason 1: Excessive and premature masturbation leading to premature ejaculation
During the age of 12-16, young boys are still in the stage of physical development. Excessive masturbation and premature ejaculation can lead to a significant loss of hormones necessary for growth and development. Teenagers who have experienced masturbation often exhibit impulsivity during their first sexual encounter but fail to achieve an erection. Even if they do, the erection is weak and quickly leads to premature ejaculation.
Reason 2: Premature ejaculation caused by other psychological and social factors
External factors such as certain social phenomena, tense interpersonal relationships, and excessive work or study pressure can stimulate the senses, easily triggering nerve impulses. When some of these impulses reach the cerebral cortex and are consciously perceived by the individual, they can cause complex psychological responses, which often lead to premature ejaculation in young people.
Reason 3: Premature ejaculation due to insufficient sexual experience
If premature ejaculation is not caused by frequent nocturnal emissions or excessive masturbation, then the semen produced by the sexual organs due to stimulation accumulates in the body. When it reaches a certain quantity, combined with excitement during time spent with a partner, the long-term suppression of sexual desire that has not been released can easily trigger premature ejaculation. It’s like pouring gasoline on dry wood—it ignites immediately upon encountering a spark.
