Premature Ejaculation : Causes & Medication.
Premature ejaculation is the most common sexual problem for men. It is a lack of control over ejaculation so that it often happens sooner than the man or his partner wants, causing distress for one or both partners.
Causes of premature ejaculation
In the past, premature ejaculation was thought to be entirely psychological. However, it is now thought that some men (particularly those with lifelong premature ejaculation) have a chemical imbalance in the brain centres controlling this function (this is called a neurobiological cause). This can, in turn, lead to associated psychological problems, such as performance anxiety.
Acquired premature ejaculation can be caused by psychological factors such as:
• depression or anxiety, particularly about performance
• feeling anxious about rejection by a sexual partner
• expecting failure
• negative sexual experiences in childhood
• religious beliefs
• stress
• problems within the relationship.
• Some men develop acquired premature ejaculation because they have erectile dysfunction (are unable to get or keep an erection than enables them to have sex).
Treatment for premature ejaculation
Seeking help for premature ejaculation from a doctor or sex therapist is a good idea. Treatments for premature ejaculation will vary depending on the cause and whether it is lifelong or acquired premature ejaculation. The treatments include:
psychotherapy and counselling – with the guidance of an experienced sex therapist, any underlying anxieties about sex can be explored and eased.
Medication- with the help of medication it can be prevent.
