Does Hepatitis Infection Cause Premature Ejaculation?
Question: Hi
Please doctor am chronic hep b patient, experiencing chronic depression and or anxiety for over two years ago (thinking about one thing over and over again, especially my hep b status) and am experiencing premature ejaculation according to my wife, but am atleast lasting for 2 to 3 minute before ejaculation and i have too much libido.
Now my concern is one of your doctor here said sexual problem might be cause by serious liver disease such as cirrhosis. though i didn't mention to him my own is premature ejaculation. please i need clarification.
