Premature Ejaculation: Causes, Signs and Treatment Options
A newly married man visits a doctor after struggling to last longer during sex. He says the problem is affecting his confidence and causing anxiety in his marriage. Premature ejaculation happens when a man ejaculates earlier than he or his partner wants. It may be a concern when it occurs repeatedly, causes distress, and commonly happens within about one minute of penetration over several months. Possible causes include performance anxiety, stress, relationship problems, low self-esteem, erectile dysfunction, hormonal issues and prostate inflammation. Treatment may involve counselling, behavioural methods such as the start-stop technique, and doctor-prescribed medication where appropriate. Anyone experiencing persistent symptoms should speak with a qualified healthcare professional. Open communication with a partner can also reduce pressure and support treatment.
