For men, the most frequent sexual issue is premature ejaculation. This issue not only reduces a couple's chances of becoming pregnant, but it also leads to low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and conflict with one's spouse.
Not every individual is aware that they are ejaculating too soon. They might also believe that this issue is unimportant or unworthy of discussion. This article will explain premature ejaculation and the symptoms that you may experience.
Premature ejaculation: What is it?
When semen leaves the body during sexual activity faster than desired, it is known as premature ejaculation. This typically occurs just after vaginal penetration, or possibly even before it happens.
In actuality, there's no set time during sex when you should ejaculate. But you should see a doctor if ejaculation happens too soon and results in sexual dissatisfaction or a breakdown in your relationship.
One common sexual complaint is premature ejaculation, which affects men of all ages. Early detection of the symptoms of premature ejaculation is crucial in order to receive treatment before the condition worsens and compromises one's sexual and mental health.
Signs of early ejaculation
As previously stated, there is no definite time when you should ejaculate. However, you may need to be aware of early ejaculation if you experience some of the following signs:
- You can't delay ejaculation more than three minutes after vaginal penetration
- Faster inoculation does not only occur when having sex with a partner but also when intimidating or other sexual situations
Is treatment available for premature ejaculation?
In most cases, premature ejaculation is treatable. Nonetheless, your physician will typically assist you in determining the underlying reason for the early ejaculation.
A person's premature ejaculation can have more than one cause. A number of psychological and medical disorders, including stress, depression, anxiety, guilt, relationship issues, low self-esteem, sexual abuse, aberrant hormone levels, erectile dysfunction, and others, are typically the cause.
The doctor will prescribe medication and treatment after determining the cause of premature ejaculation. The following are a few of the popular forms of treatment:
- Sexual therapy combined with behavioral therapy to manage erection and postpone it
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy to alter thought processes or behavioral patterns that might be causing early ejaculation
- Prescribing some medications, such as antidepressants, which can help improve ejaculation control
- Strengthening the muscles that control ejaculation can be achieved through pelvic muscle training, such as Kegel exercises
- Counseling or sexual therapy that can help men and their partners explore the underlying issues of premature ejaculation, such as relationship issues, anxiety, or past trauma
It's okay to talk to a doctor and seek advice because premature ejaculation is a common issue. It is precisely because of an early examination that the doctor can prescribe the appropriate course of action, enabling your problem to be resolved faster.
