Quick ejaculation with a short duration usually refers to premature ejaculation. Generally speaking, the main causes of premature ejaculation include excessive psychological pressure, insufficient sexual experience, phimosis, prostatitis, and hyperthyroidism. If discomfort symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek timely consultation and treatment at a regular hospital. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Excessive Psychological Pressure

Long-term anxiety, tension, depression, and other emotions can interfere with the brain's control over ejaculation, lowering the ejaculation threshold and causing premature ejaculation. In daily life, stress can be relieved through exercise, meditation, and other methods, and psychological counseling should be sought when necessary.

2. Insufficient Sexual Experience

Individuals experiencing their first sexual encounter or those who have long lacked sexual contact may experience premature ejaculation due to excessive excitement and heightened sensitivity to sexual stimulation. Increasing sexual frequency gradually can help accumulate experience and improve ejaculatory control.

3. Phimosis

Excessively long foreskin constantly covers the glans, increasing its sensitivity and making it prone to rapid ejaculation during sexual activity due to stimulation. Circumcision can be performed, after which the sensitivity of the glans gradually decreases.

4. Prostatitis

Inflammation of the prostate can stimulate the sensitive nerves of the genital organs, causing abnormal ejaculation reflex and resulting in premature ejaculation. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, azithromycin dispersible tablets, and doxycycline capsules can be used for treatment.

5. Hyperthyroidism

Excessive secretion of thyroid hormones accelerates bodily metabolism and affects the nervous regulation of the reproductive system, leading to rapid ejaculation. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as methimazole tablets, propylthiouracil tablets, and carbimazole tablets can be used to regulate hormone levels.

In daily life, it is important to maintain regular作息 (作息 should be replaced with an appropriate English term like "作息" is often translated as "daily routine"), avoid excessive fatigue, maintain a positive mindset, avoid undue tension, engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness, and undergo regular medical checkups to detect and treat diseases promptly.
