Premature Ejaculation (adjunctive care)
Also known as: premature ejaculation, early ejaculation, ejaculating too quickly
Premature ejaculation is climaxing earlier than wanted, persistent and causing distress. Psychological approaches, pelvic-floor work and prescribed medicines are the evidence-based treatments. Chinese medicine reads it as kidney qi failing to secure essence, heart-spleen depletion, or liver fire, and combines point work, herbal support and the psychological care already in place.
