​Understanding Premature Ejaculation: Causes, Types, Symptoms, and Treatment | Ray & Rio's Speciality Clinic
Premature ejaculation is a common sexual disorder that affects many men, causing distress and impacting their sexual well-being. It is characterized by the inability to control or delay ejaculation, resulting in ejaculation occurring sooner than desired during sexual activity. At Ray & Rio's Speciality Clinic, located in Chennai, India, our expert urologist, Dr. Griffin, specializes in treating male wellness issues, including premature ejaculation.
What are the Causes of Premature Ejaculation?
There are several potential causes of premature ejaculation.
Psychological factors, such as anxiety, stress, and performance pressure, can contribute to its development.
Biological factors, including abnormal hormone levels, neurotransmitter imbalances, and genetic predisposition, may also play a role.
Relationship issues and communication problems with sexual partners can further exacerbate the condition.
Additionally, certain lifestyle and health factors, such as obesity, smoking, and substance abuse, can contribute to premature ejaculation.
Types of Premature Ejaculation:
Premature ejaculation can be classified into different types based on its duration and onset.
Lifelong premature ejaculation refers to experiencing the condition since the beginning of sexual activity, while acquired premature ejaculation occurs after a period of normal sexual function.
Natural variable premature ejaculation refers to inconsistent episodes of early ejaculation, and subjective premature ejaculation is based on the individual's perception of their sexual performance.
Symptoms of Premature Ejaculation:
Recognizing the symptoms of premature ejaculation is essential for seeking appropriate treatment. The primary symptom is the inability to control ejaculation, leading to ejaculation occurring within one minute of sexual penetration. Individuals with premature ejaculation may also experience feelings of frustration, embarrassment, and a negative impact on their self-esteem and sexual relationships.
Diagnosing Premature Ejaculation:
Diagnosing premature ejaculation involves a comprehensive evaluation by a urologist. This typically includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and discussions about the symptoms and their impact on the individual's life. Self-assessment questionnaires may also be used to gather additional information. In some cases, laboratory tests may be conducted to rule out any underlying medical conditions contributing to the premature ejaculation.
Treatment for Premature Ejaculation
Treatment options for premature ejaculation aim to improve sexual function and enhance control over ejaculation.
Medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and topical anesthetics, may be prescribed to address underlying causes and increase ejaculation time.
Psychological counseling and therapy can provide support and address any underlying psychological factors contributing to the condition. Lifestyle and behavioral changes can also play a significant role in managing premature ejaculation.
Behavioral techniques and exercises, such as the start-stop technique and the squeeze technique, can help individuals develop better control and delay ejaculation.
Maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, managing stress levels, and practicing relaxation techniques can all contribute to improved sexual function.
Pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels, can help strengthen the pelvic muscles involved in ejaculation.
Open and honest communication with sexual partners can foster understanding and mutual support.
