I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello

Aapki problem bahut common hai, aur masturbation ki wajah se permanent damage ya “weakness” nahi hoti. 20 saal ki age me 1 minute ke andar discharge ho jana aksar performance anxiety, excitement, ya body ki habit ki wajah se hota hai. Isko improve karna possible hai aur kai log practice aur lifestyle changes se 5–10 minute ya usse zyada control pa lete hain.

Sabse pehle tension kam kariye, kyunki darr aur overthinking se timing aur jaldi kharab hoti hai. Masturbation ko completely band karna zaroori nahi, lekin bahut fast karne ki habit ho to dheere aur control ke sath kariye. “Start-stop technique” helpful hoti hai — jab ejaculation pass lage to thodi der ruk jaiye, fir dubara continue kariye. Pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises) bhi control improve kar sakti hain. Regular exercise, achhi neend, porn kam dekhna, aur partner ke sath relaxed rehna bhi faydemand hota hai.

Agar problem har baar ho rahi hai aur stress de rahi hai, to doctor ya sexologist se mil sakte hain. Kuch cases me counseling ya medicines bhi help karti hain. Lekin aapke description se ye treatable lag raha hai aur improvement possible hai.

Take care

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

Aap jo problem bata rahe hain usme sabse important baat ye hai ki masturbation (“hastmaithun”) ki wajah se permanently sexual weakness ya timing kharab nahi hoti. Bahut log unnecessarily guilt aur anxiety me aa jate hain. 1 minute ke andar ejaculation hona kabhi-kabhi performance anxiety, excitement, stress, ya lack of experience ki wajah se bhi hota hai, especially young age me. Good news hai ki Haan, improvement possible hai. Bahut log practice aur proper techniques se timing better kar lete hain.

Helpful things: - Anxiety aur guilt kam karein - Porn excess me avoid karein - Regular exercise karein - Sleep achhi rakhein - Smoking/alcohol avoid karein

Techniques that help: - Start-stop technique - Squeeze technique - Slow breathing during intercourse - Foreplay duration badhana - Pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises

Agar issue regular ho aur relationship/stress affect kare, to sexologist/urologist consultation helpful ho sakta hai. “10 minute” koi fixed normal number nahi hota. Sexual satisfaction sirf duration par depend nahi karti.

Final Prescription / Advice: - Daily Kegel exercises for 6–8 weeks - Regular exercise, good sleep, stress reduction - Avoid excessive pornography and performance anxiety - No self-use of sexual power medicines without doctor advice

Advice: Masturbation se permanent damage ya sexual weakness nahi hoti, aur your condition is commonly manageable with confidence-building and behavioral techniques.

Feel free to reach out again.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, D.Fam.Medicine

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Early ejaculation at your age is very common and masturbation does not permanently damage sexual performance or make it impossible to last longer in the future. With practice, anxiety control, pelvic floor exercises, condom use, start-stop/squeeze techniques, and better confidence, many men improve their timing significantly, and lasting around 10 minutes can be possible for some people over time. If this problem continues to cause stress or affects your relationships, you can consult a sexologist, urologist, or mental health professional for proper guidance and treatment options.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello It sounds like you’re feeling concerned about your sexual performance and duration. It’s completely normal for young men to have varying experiences when it comes to sexual activity, including masturbation and sexual intercourse.

### Here are a few points to consider:

1. Duration Varies: The duration of sexual activity can vary widely among individuals. It’s not uncommon for some people to have shorter durations, especially if they are feeling anxious or inexperienced.

2. Masturbation Frequency: Frequent masturbation can sometimes lead to temporary changes in sexual performance. If you’ve been doing it a lot, it might affect your stamina or arousal levels during sexual activity.

3. Anxiety and Pressure: Feeling anxious about performance can also impact how long you last. It’s important to relax and not put too much pressure on yourself.

4. Communication: If you’re in a relationship, communicating with your partner about your feelings and experiences can help reduce anxiety and improve the experience for both of you.

5. Consult a Professional: If you’re really concerned about your sexual performance or if it’s affecting your confidence, it might be helpful to talk to a healthcare professional or a counselor. They can provide guidance and support tailored to your situation.

### Tips to Improve Stamina: - Practice Relaxation Techniques: Deep breathing or mindfulness can help reduce anxiety. - Focus on Foreplay: Engaging in foreplay can enhance the experience for both partners and take the pressure off penetration duration. - Healthy Lifestyle: Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep can improve overall stamina and sexual health.

Thank you

I am currently working as a urologist and kidney transplant surgeon at Graphic Era Medical College & Hospital, Dehradun. It's a role that keeps me on my toes, honestly. I handle a pretty wide range of urology cases—stones, prostate issues, urinary tract obstructions, infections, you name it. Some are straightforward, others way more complex than you expect at first glance. Every patient walks in with a different story and that’s what keeps the work real for me. Kidney transplant surgery, though, that’s a whole different zone. You’re not just working on anatomy—you’re dealing with timelines, matching, medications, family dynamics, emotional pressure... and yeah, very precise coordination. I’m part of a team that manages the entire transplant process—from evaluation to surgery to post-op care. Not gonna lie, it’s intense. But seeing someone who’s been on dialysis for years finally get a new shot at life—there’s nothing really like that feeling. In the OR, I’m detail-focused. Outside of it, I try to stay accessible—patients don’t always need answers right away, sometimes they just need to feel heard. I believe in walking them through what’s going on rather than just giving reports and instructions. Especially in transplant cases, trust matters. And clear, honest conversation helps build that. Urology itself is such a misunderstood field sometimes. People ignore symptoms for years because it feels “awkward” or they think it’s not serious until it becomes unmanageable. I’ve had patients who came in late just because they were embarassed to talk about urine flow or testicular pain. That’s why I also try to make the space judgment-free—like whatever it is, we’ll figure it out. At the end of the day, whether I’m scrubbing in for surgery or doing OPD rounds, I just want to make sure what I do *actually* helps. That the effort’s not wasted. And yeah, some days are frustrating—some procedures don’t go clean, some recoveries take longer than they should—but I keep showing up, cause the work’s worth doing. Always is.

Hi,

I understand you’re worried. Let me explain clearly and simply.


⚠️ First — What You Need to Know

· The average time for ejaculation during intercourse is 3 to 7 minutes, not 10+ minutes · What you see in videos is not real — it’s acting, editing, and multiple takes · 1 minute is considered premature ejaculation, which is very treatable at your age · Excessive past masturbation does NOT cause permanent damage — this is reversible


🎯 Yes, You Can Improve — Here’s How

Method What to Do Stop-Start Technique During the act, pause when close → wait 30 sec → resume Squeeze Technique Squeeze the tip for 10–15 sec when about to ejaculate Deep Breathing Slow belly breathing delays ejaculation Thick Condoms Reduces sensation Masturbate 1–2 hours before Second round lasts longer


🧠 Mental Side — Equally Important

· Anxiety about performance makes it worse · Stop watching unrealistic adult content — it creates false benchmarks · Focus on foreplay — partner satisfaction doesn’t depend only on penetration time


💊 Medicines — Only If Needed

Option Details Lidocaine spray/wipes Numbing agent — apply 10 min before Dapoxetine 30 mg Prescription tablet for PE — 1–2 hours before

✅ At 20, behavioral techniques work for most. Pills are backup.


🏋️ Lifestyle Support

· Kegel exercises daily — strengthen pelvic floor muscles · Regular exercise, good sleep · Limit pornography


Bottom Line: You’re normal. With simple techniques, you can reach 5–10 minutes in weeks. No permanent damage. Don’t panic.

Improving sexual performance and duration can be a common concern, and it’s good you’re seeking advice. At 20, physiological functioning is still developing, and various factors might be contributing to shorter duration. If your goal is to enhance endurance during intercourse, there are practical strategies you can implement. First, consider lifestyle adjustments: regular exercise, nutritious diet, and adequate sleep. These can improve overall cardiovascular health, which is crucial for sexual performance. Also, managing stress through techniques like meditation or yoga could positively impact performance by relaxing the mind and body.

From a medical standpoint, it’s important to rule out any underlying issues that could affect performance. Consulting a healthcare professional for a check-up can help identify any potential medical causes, such as hormonal imbalances or other conditions. Discussion around habits like masturbation might also be insightful, since it’s rarely the direct cause of performance issues, though it could create psychological patterns that influence experience.

One effective approach could be trying exercises like the “stop-start” technique or “squeeze” method during solo or partnered activities. These practices are aimed at increasing control over ejaculation. Additionally, pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels, can also strengthen relevant muscles.

However, if premature ejaculation is a persistent problem, there are treatments available, including topical anesthetics or oral medications, often prescribed by doctors. It’s key to approach this holistically, considering both mind and body aspects. There shouldn’t be any stigma in seeking professional help if needed to better understand and address the issue. Achieving your target goal of lasting longer is usually quite achievable with consistent effort and sometimes medical support.
