Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old and have been masturbating since teenager. There were no issues until yesterday when I had premature ejaculation during masturbation. I am concerned that it is a serious issue. Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

It is normal to experience variations in ejaculation timing during masturbation, and premature ejaculation (PE) is defined as consistently ejaculating within one minute of penetration or before the person wishes to during sexual activity. If you are only experiencing PE during masturbation and not during sexual activity with a partner, it is less likely to be a serious concern.

I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions:

  1. Practice techniques that can help delay ejaculation, such as the stop-start method or the squeeze technique. These techniques involve delaying ejaculation by stopping stimulation or squeezing the penis at the point of imminent ejaculation, and then restarting or resuming stimulation.
  2. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and managing stress through relaxation techniques or therapy.
  3. Avoiding excessive alcohol and drug use can also help improve sexual function and delay ejaculation.

Kindly consult a specialist, and talk to them for a detailed evaluation.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
