Patient's question:
My sexual function isn't as good as it used to be. I don't know if it's because of too frequent sexual activity, but now I want to return to my previous energy level. How can I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Prevention and Treatment of Impotence and Premature Ejaculation:1. Establish a happy, healthy, and harmonious family environment. Pay attention to mutual understanding and cooperation between husband and wife. If anorgasmia occurs, do not blame or complain to each other, but instead identify the cause and seek treatment together.
2. Pay attention to premarital sex education and guidance. Learn about sexual anatomy and sexual life knowledge, understand and master normal sexual intercourse methods and sexual response processes. Avoid excessive abstinence from sex, as too few sexual encounters are not conducive to the release of androgens.
3. Maintain a regular lifestyle and strengthen physical exercise, such as practicing Tai Chi, walking, or Qigong, which are beneficial for mental and physical health and emotional regulation.
4. Reduce masturbation and sexual activity. Avoid intense sexual desires or using repeated intercourse to prolong the second sexual encounter, as this harms health and is not advisable.
5. The emotional state before intercourse greatly affects the speed of ejaculation. Avoid worries, excitement, and tension. Instead, build confidence and cooperate with treatment.
6. The wife should be understanding and comforting, avoiding blame or threats, as this may worsen the condition and hinder recovery.
7. Avoid taking aphrodisiacs lightly or excessively.
8. There is no uniform standard for the duration of ejaculation. Generally, 2–6 minutes is considered normal, but ejaculation within a shorter time frame is also acceptable as long as both partners feel satisfied. Success should not be measured by duration.
