Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 25 years old, and I have a habit of masturbation. I am unable to control my ejaculation for more than a minute, and I feel my penis has become too sensitive. What should I do? Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern about the symptoms you are experiencing. Premature ejaculation can occur for many reasons, and identifying the underlying cause is important for proper management.
Some common causes include:
Stressful or irregular work schedules, such as night shifts or long working hours.
Medical conditions such as diabetes (high blood sugar), hypertension (high blood pressure), and thyroid disorders (hormone imbalance).
Long-term use of certain medications, especially those for high blood pressure or psychiatric conditions.
Frequent masturbation, especially in the prone position (lying face down).
Excessive pornography use can increase sensitivity and reduce control.
Insufficient foreplay, or a lack of understanding of foreplay and female sexual response.
Psychological factors, such as guilt from an extramarital relationship.
Lack of exercise or obesity can reduce stamina and sexual confidence.
To evaluate medical causes, you should check the following:
Fasting and post-prandial blood sugar (FBS and PPBS) to rule out diabetes.
Blood pressure is checked for hypertension.
Thyroid profile (free T3- Triiodothyronine, free T4 -Thyroxine, and TSH - thyroid-stimulating hormone) to rule out thyroid disorders.
For temporary relief, you may use Duralast 30 mg (Dapoxetine), but it should be taken under medical guidance.
I would suggest some natural methods that can help:
Improving sexual control is often possible with lifestyle and behavioral changes, such as:
A good sexual experience requires adequate foreplay. Women typically need 15 to 20 minutes of foreplay, and men benefit from 10 to 15 minutes of gentle stimulation to improve blood flow and maintain a firm erection.
Foreplay should be done in a calm, relaxed manner. Your partner should learn ways to stimulate you without causing rapid ejaculation.
You may use relaxing music, which helps reduce anxiety and improve control.
Delaying condoms can reduce sensitivity and help you last longer. Remember, penetration is not the only important part of sex. Sexual satisfaction is not measured by duration alone. Understanding female pleasure, including female masturbation and clitoral stimulation, is essential for helping your partner reach orgasm.
I hope this helps you.
Kindly revert if there are any queries.
Thank you.
