Patient's question:
I had a history of masturbation for about ten years. It wasn't until I started dating a girlfriend that I discovered I had premature ejaculation.Doctor's answer:
You have not received proper treatment. Under regular sexual activity, most people can extend the duration after treatment.Regarding the treatment of premature ejaculation, the current academic consensus is that SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are the first-line medication, which are commonly known as antidepressants and are the preferred choice. Generally, it is necessary to take them for 3 months to 6 months, or even longer. During the course of treatment, sexual activity duration can be extended. However, the biggest issue lies in discontinuing the medication. Temporary-use medications have also been approved and are available as alternatives.
Recommendations:
1. Seek medical advice from a urology department in a formal hospital. Premature ejaculation is a treatable condition, and the treatment outcomes for the vast majority of patients are satisfactory.
2. Relax your mind and avoid excessive focus on the sexual organs during intercourse.
3. Learn some sexual techniques, which can help you extend the duration, such as the woman-on-top position or reducing the frequency of thrusting.
