Loiasis Treatment

Loiasis is a skin and eye infection caused by the parasite Loa Loa. Humans contract this disease through the bite of a Deer fly. The disease can cause red itchy swellings below the skin called "Calabar swellings". It does not affect the vision but the worm can be seen migrating through the cornea of the eye.

General query

Hi Doctor, whenever i get any sexual thought my penis starts leaking some drops of liquid which i checked on internet given as precum. But i get precum within less then a minute of thinking. Is this is called premature ejaculation or that's something different thing ? Also after getting precum i try to divert my mind to avoid ejaculation as i read somewhere it leads to weakness, fertility loss etc. Also i try to avoid this because it gives some foul smell and make stain marks on underwear and paints. So is it safe to stop sexual arousal at precum level and divert mind to stop ejaculation ?
