Premature Ejaculation - Causes That Contribute To It!

Premature Ejaculation is a very common problem. When a man ejaculates or climaxes too early he ends up releasing semen too quickly which ends the sexual stimulation process early on. This mostly results in an unsatisfactory sexual experience for both partners and it may even be bad for conceiving, for couples trying to conceive.

Why is it so common?
Even men with normal sexual performance have suffered from this condition at some stage of their lives.

Let's look at some of the causes that contribute to premature ejaculation being so common.

• Performance related stress - Starting off with a new partner or being in a new relationship may cause performance anxiety.
• Hormonal problems - Hormonal imbalances can also cause issues within certain men and these may be the result of deeper physical issues.
• Injuries - Sportsmen and other men who have had injuries in their groin areas may also suffer from premature ejaculation due to nerve or muscular damage.
• Mental issues such as depression - Mental disorders can also contribute to a point where sexual dysfunction may result and premature ejaculation could be one of them.
• Medicinal side effects - Certain medications may cause muscle relaxation and thus result in premature ejaculation.

Treatments for premature ejaculation
In most cases premature ejaculation is relieved when the underlying factors have been taken care of or have been diminished.

Some common treatments options available for premature ejaculation are as follows:

• Reduction of mental stress: Whether it is due to a new partner or general stress before having sex, it is advisable to reduce levels of anxiety and also calm the nerves to reduce the possibility of premature ejaculation.
• Medications: In cases where the condition is caused by hormonal imbalances, appropriate medication helps in curing it. In case it was the medicine itself causing the problems, then appropriate changes are made to rectify the situation.
• Wearing condoms or using numbing creams and sprays: Condoms and numbing sprays are a good tool to reduce hypersensitivity to the penis and thus reduce the chances of ejaculating early.
