How to treat sexual performance anxiety in a 27-year-old?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

After experiencing my first sex with my wife, I ejaculated a few seconds after the intercourse. I used to masturbate twice a week so far. My age is 27. Is this called premature ejaculation? I tried having sex the next day. The same thing continued. We engaged in oral sex, which took me a lot of time to ejaculate. But now I feel so depressed after trying to have intercourse; it just took 10 to 15 seconds. I have gone through several studies and articles on ashwagandha shilajit ginseng. I am so confused and feared to take medicines based on my assumptions. Please help me with what I should do.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

This is just performance anxiety. Sometimes you feel the pressure to perform well, so due to anxiety, you ejaculate​ early. Do not worry, and enjoy your sexual life. You will be better without any medicine. I suggest walking and exercise daily. Take fresh fruits and vegetables. Add nuts like almonds, pistachios, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds to your diet.

I hope you find it helpful.

Thank you.
