Introduction
In general, whether male premature ejaculation can resolve on its own mainly depends on its underlying cause and type. It is important to maintain a regular作息 (daily routine), avoid staying up late and excessive fatigue, and reduce tobacco and alcohol consumption. Stay relaxed during sexual activity and avoid excessive anxiety. Engage in appropriate physical exercise to improve physical fitness, and pay attention to genital hygiene to prevent inflammatory infections.
In general, whether male premature ejaculation can resolve on its own mainly depends on its underlying cause and type. A detailed analysis is as follows:
If premature ejaculation is caused by psychological factors—such as emotional tension, anxiety, excessive stress, lack of sexual experience, or poor coordination between partners—it can often gradually improve or even resolve spontaneously. By adjusting one's mindset, reducing stress, and improving communication with a partner, sexual function can slowly return to normal in most cases. This type of premature ejaculation is not due to organic disease; once the triggering factors are eliminated, normal sexual function can be restored.
However, if premature ejaculation results from organic conditions—such as prostatitis, balanitis, or abnormally high nerve sensitivity—it typically cannot heal on its own. These issues involve physiological damage or abnormalities, and without professional medical treatment, symptoms are unlikely to improve and may worsen over time, potentially affecting reproductive health and daily life.
To promote better health, maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid staying up late or overexertion. Reduce tobacco and alcohol consumption. Stay relaxed during sexual activity and avoid excessive anxiety. Engage in regular physical exercise to improve overall fitness, and pay attention to genital hygiene to prevent inflammatory infections.
