Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is a common sexual dysfunction that affects men during intercourse. It occurs when a man ejaculates semen or reaches orgasm sooner than desired, either before or shortly after penetration during intercourse. This can be a frustrating experience for both the individual and their partner, compromising the quality of their sexual life.

It is amongst the most common sexual dysfunctions and affects 30% to 40% of all men at some point in their life. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can effectively manage and improve this condition.

At Dr. Kamaraj Hospital, we understand the physical and mental challenges associated with premature ejaculation. Our personalised, specialised approach aims to provide tailored treatment plans to help patients achieve improved sexual health.

Causes of Premature Ejaculation

While the exact cause of premature ejaculation is unknown, it is believed to be a result of a complex interaction of biological and psychological factors. These include:

Biological Causes:
  • Imbalanced Brain Chemicals
  • Hormone Imbalances
  • Inherited Traits
  • Infection or Swelling of the Urethra or Prostate
Psychological Causes:
  • History of Sexual Abuse
  • Depression
  • Negative Body Image
  • Early Sexual Experiences
  • Anxiety about Premature Ejaculation
  • Guilt that leads to rush during intercourse
Additional factors that can contribute to premature ejaculation include:
  • Erectile Dysfunction: Anxiety about achieving and maintaining an erection may lead to a pattern of early ejaculation, which can be challenging to resolve.
  • Anxiety: Anxiety about sexual performance, related concerns, or other stressors can induce premature ejaculation.
  • Relationship Issues: Problems within a current or past relationship with a sexual partner can also trigger premature ejaculation.

Symptoms of Premature Ejaculation

  • Ejaculating sooner than desired – Frequently ejaculating within a minute or shortly after penetration.
  • Inability to control ejaculation – Difficulty delaying ejaculation during sexual activity.
  • Emotional distress – Feelings of frustration, embarrassment, or anxiety about sexual performance.
  • Decreased satisfaction – Both partners may experience dissatisfaction due to premature ejaculation.
  • Recurrent issue – Consistently experiencing premature ejaculation during most sexual encounters.

Diagnosis and Treatment Options for Premature Ejaculation

The diagnosis of premature ejaculation typically involves healthcare professionals gathering detailed information about the patient’s sexual life and medical history. It can include a physical examination and blood tests to assess hormone levels. Based on the evaluation, healthcare professionals recommend a suitable treatment plan.

Premature ejaculation can be treated with behavioural techniques, medicines, or counselling. It may take some time to find the best method, but combining behavioural therapy with medicine is often the most effective solution.
