Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual health issue that occurs when a man ejaculates sooner than he or his partner would like during sexual activity. It is a widespread concern, and many men experience it at some point in their lives. There isn't a universally agreed-upon definition for premature ejaculation, but it's generally considered to be when ejaculation occurs within one minute of penetration.

Several factors can contribute to premature ejaculation, including psychological and biological factors. Some common causes and contributing factors include:

Psychological Factors:

• Anxiety: Performance anxiety, stress, or other psychological issues can contribute to premature ejaculation.
• Relationship issues: Problems within a relationship can impact sexual performance.

Biological Factors:

• Hormonal issues: An imbalance in hormones, particularly serotonin, can affect ejaculation.
• Abnormal reflex activity: Certain reflex pathways in the ejaculatory system may be overly sensitive.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED):

• Men with erectile dysfunction may develop a pattern of rapid ejaculation to compensate for difficulties in maintaining an erection.

Inflammation and Infection:

• Inflammation of the prostate or urethra and infections in the genital tract can sometimes contribute.

Genetic Factors:

There may be a genetic component, and some men may be more predisposed to experiencing premature ejaculation.
