    Tests on the etiology of premature ejaculation. Frankly speaking, there are not many tests on the etiology of premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation is actually a man who ejaculates too early. The main cause of premature ejaculation is the decrease in the brain's ability to control ejaculation and the increase in the stimulating sensation in the genital area. From the perspective of etiological examination, the human brain cannot carry out relevant examinations, and even using multifunctional MRI, there is no way to carry out relevant examinations.

    Although local stimulation will test for local experience-evoked potentials and local nerve stimulation, it cannot replace the sensory stimulation during sexual intercourse. Therefore, any corresponding examination for premature ejaculation cannot replace the special sensation and time during sexual intercourse. Therefore, many patients ask what tests should be done for premature ejaculation. In fact, premature ejaculation does not require any tests. The patient only needs to show the time and experience during intercourse and other explanatory things.

    Tests for premature ejaculation in men generally include:

    1. General physical examination for men. This includes examination of male secondary sexual characteristics, genitals, testicles and epididymal cysts, and sometimes even ultrasound examination of the prostate and seminal vesicles. 2. Routine physical examination in the Department of Urology can identify the causes of other symptoms such as balanitis, prostatitis, seminal vesicle adeurethritis, etc. 3. Neuroelectrophysiological examination. Using the measurement of male genital vibration sensation is helpful to understand the function of male genital sensitivity and tactile nerves.

    Premature ejaculation is one of the common diseases in men. The clinical manifestation is that the ejaculation time is too short. Generally, when a man ejaculates for less than 1 minute, it is called premature ejaculation. The medical test for premature ejaculation mainly involves a sensitivity test of the genitals and glans penis. If the sensitivity is too high and the time of ejaculation of the patient is combined to make a judgment, it will be confirmed whether he is suffering from premature ejaculation. When suffering from premature ejaculation, in addition to proactive medication treatment, some psychological counseling must also be carried out, including allowing patients to properly understand the symptoms without experiencing a large psychological burden. Especially for patients with some anxiety or depression, psychological counseling must be carried out, and if necessary, take anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, and mood-improving drugs.
