Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Mingchuan
There are various methods for treating premature ejaculation, and it is essential to identify the underlying cause and provide targeted treatment accordingly. Common approaches include pharmacological treatments, such as topical anesthetics to reduce sensitivity or oral antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications; however, these should be used under medical supervision with attention to potential side effects. Additionally, behavioral therapies—such as the squeeze technique and stop-start method—can help prolong ejaculation time through training. Psychological counseling is also important, helping patients adjust their mindset and reduce anxiety. In some severe cases, surgical intervention may be considered. Treatment should be individualized, employing a comprehensive approach under the guidance of a qualified physician. At the same time, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle and engage in regular exercise to promote recovery more effectively.
