What causes premature ejaculation, and how is it treated?

Quick ejaculation may be caused by long-term late-night habits, mental anxiety, chronic prostatitis, phimosis combined with balanitis, hyperthyroidism, lumbar disc herniation, and other conditions. It can usually be improved through general treatments, medication, and other methods. If abnormalities occur, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Long-term late-night habits: Prolonged lack of sleep depletes physical function, leading to dysfunction of the nervous system regulation and increased sensitivity of the ejaculation center, thereby causing quick ejaculation. It is important to maintain a regular schedule, ensure sufficient sleep daily, and avoid staying up late.

2. Mental anxiety: Long-term negative emotions such as tension, inferiority, and worry keep the cerebral cortex in a continuous state of excitement, interfering with the normal regulation of the ejaculation center and lowering the ejaculation threshold, resulting in quick ejaculation. It is recommended to relieve stress through listening to music, exercising, and communicating with family and friends.

3. Chronic prostatitis: Inflammatory stimulation of the prostate, either bacterial or non-bacterial in origin, causes inflammatory factors to spread to areas such as the seminal vesicles and urethra, affecting the ejaculation reflex pathway, leading to quick ejaculation, often accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. Treatment should be carried out under a doctor's guidance using medications such as Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Sustained-release Capsules, Qianlieshule Capsules, and Levofloxacin Tablets to improve urination and ejaculation function.

4. Phimosis combined with balanitis: Phimosis causes the glans to remain covered for a prolonged period, increasing its sensitivity and making it prone to bacterial growth that causes balanitis. This often results in quick ejaculation during sexual activity, accompanied by symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching of the glans. Doctors generally recommend using Clotrimazole Cream, Enoxacin Cream, or Potassium Permanganate Solution to control inflammation. Once the inflammation subsides, circumcision can be performed to reduce glans sensitivity.

5. Hyperthyroidism: Excessive secretion of thyroid hormones accelerates body metabolism and increases sympathetic nerve excitability, causing the ejaculation center to react more quickly, resulting in quick ejaculation, often accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations and excessive sweating. Doctors may prescribe Propylthiouracil Tablets, Methimazole Tablets, or Propranolol Sustained-release Tablets to regulate thyroid hormone levels back to the normal range.

In daily life, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid excessive consumption of spicy and irritating foods, and engage appropriately in activities such as jogging and Kegel exercises to enhance physical fitness.
