Introduction
In general, premature ejaculation may require abstinence, but not always. If premature ejaculation is caused by frequent sexual activity, abstinence combined with treatment is usually recommended. In addition, premature ejaculation is also associated with stress, excessive fatigue, and kidney deficiency. It's important to relax, spend more time outdoors engaging in physical activities, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late, and practice moderation in sexual activity.

If premature ejaculation is caused by excessive sexual activity, abstinence is generally recommended. If it is caused by psychological factors, abstinence is usually not necessary. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Required

If premature ejaculation results from frequent sexual activity, abstinence combined with treatment is generally needed. In addition, premature ejaculation may also be related to high stress levels, excessive fatigue, and kidney deficiency. It's important to relax, engage in outdoor physical activities, maintain regular sleep patterns, avoid staying up late, and practice moderation in sexual activity.

2. Not required

Premature ejaculation is a common male sexual dysfunction that is closely related to psychological and mental factors. If the condition is caused by psychological or emotional factors, abstinence is typically not required. Prolonged abstinence may lead to functional imbalance and could potentially worsen the symptoms of premature ejaculation.

It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly when experiencing symptoms of premature ejaculation and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician, which can help promote recovery.
