Yes
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I'm not sure if this is a big issue or not, but I can't really control how long I last before ejaculating. It's like, I finish in about two to three minutes, and it's kind of embarrassing when I'm with my partner. Do you have any tips or exercises, maybe even some kind of lotion or technique, that could help me last longer so I can enjoy the experience more fully?
It sounds like you're experiencing premature ejaculation, which is common and treatable. You can try techniques like the "start-stop" method or pelvic floor exercises to improve control. Consulting with a healthcare provider can help identify the best treatment options, including behavioral techniques or medications. Don't feel awkwardthis is something many people work through with support.

I've been diagnosed with venous leak and heard penile implants might be the only solution are there other treatments or methods to fix this without surgery? Really worried about going under the knife and looking for alternatives
Other options include PRP, shockwave therapy, and vacuum devices—implants are for cases unresponsive to all treatments.
