Can premature ejaculation caused by excessive masturbation be reversed by quitting the habit?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Mingchuan
Abstaining from masturbation can have a certain positive effect on the recovery from premature ejaculation. Frequent masturbation may increase glans sensitivity, thereby exacerbating premature ejaculation symptoms. Reducing or abstaining from masturbation can help decrease glans sensitivity and subsequently improve premature ejaculation. However, the causes of premature ejaculation are complex and diverse, possibly involving psychological, physiological, and other factors. Therefore, simply quitting masturbation may not be sufficient to fully resolve premature ejaculation. When treating premature ejaculation, it is recommended to comprehensively evaluate individual circumstances and adopt integrated treatment approaches, including psychotherapy, medication, and others, to achieve better therapeutic outcomes. At the same time, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and a positive mindset is essential.
