Patient's question:
Now, if the sexual act lasts less than 5 minutes, it's premature ejaculation, and I feel it's caused by excessive foreskin. I'm embarrassed to go to the hospital for a check-up.Doctor's answer:
No problem. Your situation is quite normal. Premature ejaculation refers to sexual intercourse that occurs before the female reaches orgasm, with the male's sexual activity lasting less than 2 minutes, leading to sexual dissatisfaction. Generally, 30% of men experience this condition. Although it may seem minor, it can reduce sexual quality and may also lead to other sexual dysfunctions such as erectile dysfunction, with serious consequences. It should be taken seriously and treated early.Premature ejaculation is generally defined as the phenomenon where a man, after achieving an erection, either before entering the vagina, or while just entering or shortly after entering without any thrusting, already reaches ejaculation. The penis then naturally becomes flaccid and enters a refractory period. Clinically, ejaculation before the penis enters the vagina is diagnosed as premature ejaculation. If the penis enters the vagina for intercourse but ejaculation occurs very quickly after minimal movement, it is also defined as premature ejaculation.
