What is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to control ejaculation, resulting in ejaculation that typically occurs within one minute of penetration or even before penetration, causing distress or frustration for one or both partners. It's important to note that the exact definition and criteria for PE may vary depending on cultural and individual factors. PE can be caused by psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or relationship issues, as well as biological factors such as hormonal imbalances or hypersensitivity of the penis.

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a notable concern for individuals and couples due to its potential strain on relationships, psychological impact such as embarrassment and guilt, hindered sexual satisfaction, and even fertility issues.

Signs & Symptoms of Premature Ejaculation

Signs and symptoms of premature ejaculation (PE) include following:

Key Symptoms

  • Ejaculation consistently occurs within one minute of penetration or even before.
  • Difficulty controlling ejaculation despite efforts.
  • Distress or frustration related to ejaculation timing.
  • Avoidance of sexual intimacy due to concerns about premature ejaculation.

Cause of Premature Ejaculation

The exact cause of premature ejaculation (PE) can vary among individuals and may involve a combination of psychological, biological, and interpersonal factors. Some common causes include:

Possible Causes

  • Anxiety: Performance anxiety or general anxiety related to sexual performance can contribute to PE.
  • Stress: High levels of stress, whether related to work, relationships, or other life factors, may affect ejaculatory control.
  • Depression: Mental health conditions such as depression can influence sexual function, including ejaculatory control.
  • Hormonal Imbalance: Imbalances in hormone levels, particularly serotonin, dopamine, and testosterone, can affect ejaculatory control.
  • Sensitivity: Hypersensitivity of the penis or heightened arousal response may lead to quicker ejaculation.
  • Neurological Factors: Conditions affecting the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis or peripheral neuropathy, can impact ejaculatory function.
  • Relationship Issues: Conflict, communication problems, or unresolved issues within a relationship can contribute to PE.
  • Sexual Experience: Inexperience or infrequent sexual activity may lead to heightened arousal and faster ejaculation.
  • Certain medical conditions, such as prostate problems or thyroid disorders, may contribute to PE.
