Treatment of Premature Ejaculation
What Is Premature Ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation occurs when a man has an orgasm and ejaculates sooner than he or his partner would like. It often occurs before or shortly after penetration during intercourse. Premature ejaculation can be extremely frustrating for both the patient and the sexual partner and makes sex lives less enjoyable.
How Common is Premature Ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation represents the most common type of sexual dysfunction in men, and up to 40% of men experience premature ejaculation at some point in their life.
What Causes Premature Ejaculation?
A large number of factors cause premature ejaculation, including erectile dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, foreskin or frenular disease, genital hypersensitivity, performance anxiety, stress, and depression.
How is Premature Ejaculation Treated?
There are many different treatment options for premature ejaculation, depending on the cause. These include behavioral therapy, counseling, and medications to address the causes of premature ejaculation. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct an anatomical issue, such as a tight foreskin or a short frenulum, which may be the cause of premature ejaculation. Often, more than one treatment approach may be offered at the same time, and most patients obtain better results if they are managed by a multidisciplinary team, which involves a Uro-Andrologist, an Endocrinologist, and a Psychosexual Counsellor.
