Premature ejaculation is classified into several types.

Generally, we classify premature ejaculation into two main categories: primary premature ejaculation and secondary premature ejaculation. Primary premature ejaculation means that the patient has experienced premature ejaculation since their first sexual encounter, and it has always been present. This is referred to as primary premature ejaculation. On the other hand, secondary premature ejaculation refers to those cases where previously, sexual activities were relatively satisfying without incidents of premature ejaculation, meaning the duration of sexual activity was relatively long and both partners were satisfied. However, premature ejaculation developed later due to some reasons. This is called secondary premature ejaculation.

Is Viagra effective for premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation can be somewhat alleviated by taking Viagra, but it does not fundamentally solve the problem of premature ejaculation. For premature ejaculation accompanied by erectile dysfunction, taking Viagra can improve symptoms to some extent. However, for premature ejaculation caused by inflammation of the reproductive system, taking Viagra will not result in significant improvement. Therefore, whether premature ejaculation can be treated with Viagra should be determined based on different medical conditions.
