Premature ejaculation is a condition when a man experiences orgasm and releases semen as soon as he starts a sexual activity or a minimal penile stimulation. In most men, the average ejaculatory latency is approximately 4 - 8 minutes. The International Classification of Diseases classifies a latency of 15 seconds in men with PE. Most men experience this premature ejaculation at least once in their lifetime. This is not a serious medical issue unless this occurs regularly with every lovemaking process. In this condition, men experience the orgasm too early and this makes both the partner dissatisfied with their sex. This may develop some relationship problems, psychological stress and lack of interest in sex.

What are the causes of premature ejaculation?

The cause of premature ejaculation depends on whether the premature ejaculation is lifelong or acquired. 

Lifelong premature ejaculation – 

This can be caused by a chemical imbalance in important brain centres that lowers the threshold for ejaculation. As these men need less stimulation, ejaculation can happen sooner than desired. Psychological problems, including performance anxiety, may be secondary to lifelong premature ejaculation rather than being the primary cause. 

Acquired premature ejaculation –

This often caused by performance anxiety. The anxiety can be about sexual performance, fear of being caught in a sexual act or anxiety related to a specific situation, such as a new relationship. Some religious beliefs may also make a man feel anxious about having sex. Acquired premature ejaculation can also be caused by problems such as erectile dysfunction. This may be because of the need for intense stimulation to get and maintain an erection or from anxiety about the erection problem. Overall whatever the reason is, there is always an increased sensitivity of nerves of the Glans penis which gets stimulated on mere touch or even thinking. One study shows there is a lower level of serotonin in men who are affected by premature ejaculation.

Impact of premature ejaculation on social life Men with PE also reports stress over emotional and romantic relationships with their partners. Due to PE-related embarrassment, some men avoid pursuing sexual relationships. PE may also cause considerable distress to female partners. 

Treatment & Advice 
Don’t use Viagra as it is a management drug, it may give you time being a relief but its continuous use giving so many side-effects along with a loss of a chance to be cured permanently. Young persons (up to the 50) have generally the problem in the release of hormones (not a deficiency of hormones) during sexual activity, which can easily overcome by use of Homoeopathic medicine and a short course of psychotherapy if it is related to an anxiety disorder, phobia, depression or any other Psychological disorder. Few points to remember to overcome premature ejaculation.
