I am not able to maintain my erection for a long time during sex. What can I do?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 22-years-old male. My penis erection takes time, and I cannot stay in bed for a long time. Earlier I used to stay six to seven minutes at least. But now, I can only hold for some seconds. And when I masturabate my pelvic floor muscles kinda stretch. What can I do?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. There are many reasons for premature ejaculation.

1) Stressful work.

2) Diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid issue affect premature ejaculation. Keeping your blood sugar, blood pressure, and thyroid hormones under control will help you.

3) On long-term medication related to hypertension and anti-psychiatric drugs.

4) Frequent masturbation or prone masturbation.

5) Watching excess porn.

6) Receiving less foreplay from partner or lack of knowledge regarding foreplay and female masturbation.

7) Having an affair gives you a guilty feeling.

8) Lack of exercise and obesity.

Please check FBS (fasting blood sugar) to rule out diabetes, check your BP (blood pressure), and thyroid test (T3- Triiodothyronine, T4- Thyroxine, and TSH- thyroid stimulating hormone).

Inserting a penis into the vagina is not everything in sex. You can use tablet Duralast 30 mg (Dapoxetine) as a temporary solution. Naturally, increase the foreplay duration during sex. Women should receive 15 to 20 minutes of foreplay, and men should receive 10 to 15 minutes of foreplay for the penis to get a good blood supply and to have along and hard erection. Your partner should learn to give foreplay in a way you do not ejaculate. Love your partner, learn about female masturbation, and give your partner an orgasm or climax.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
