Based on the information you have shared, several factors could be contributing to your difficulty with ejaculation during sex and the need for prolonged stimulation during masturbation. Your
thyroid imbalance, elevated
prolactin level, relatively low
testosterone level, high cholesterol, and daily smoking habit can all influence sexual function. These factors may affect libido, arousal, erection quality, sensation, and the ability to achieve ejaculation.
An elevated prolactin level, in particular, can sometimes be associated with reduced sexual desire and difficulty reaching climax. Similarly, thyroid disorders can affect overall hormonal balance and sexual health. Smoking may further impair blood circulation and nerve function over time, which can contribute to sexual difficulties. The fact that ejaculation occurs but requires significant effort suggests that the issue may involve delayed ejaculation rather than an inability to produce semen.
Next Steps
Since multiple factors are potentially involved, it is important to view the problem as a whole rather than focusing on a single cause. Pay attention to your sleep quality, stress levels, smoking habits, physical activity, and overall health. If you consume pornography frequently or have developed a very specific masturbation pattern, these factors may also influence sexual response during partnered intimacy. Reducing smoking and improving overall lifestyle habits can have a positive impact on both sexual and general health. Because the symptoms involve hormonal factors as well as sexual function and have a significant impact on your intimate life, a detailed consultation would be beneficial to understand the relative contribution of each factor and develop an individualized treatment plan.

Health Tips
Work toward reducing and ideally quitting smoking, as it can adversely affect circulation, hormone balance, and sexual performance. Maintain regular exercise, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet. Manage stress through relaxation techniques, yoga, meditation, or breathing exercises. Avoid becoming overly focused on sexual performance during intimacy, as anxiety itself can interfere with arousal and ejaculation. Improving overall health and addressing contributing lifestyle factors often plays a significant role in enhancing sexual function and confidence over time. Thank you
