Did you know that premature ejaculation is a common problem in men? About 30% to 40% of men experience this at some time during their lifetime. Having an orgasm sooner than you wish to, is normal and may happen at times. But if that occurs frequently or most of the time during intercourse, it can cause stress for you and your partner. If this problem persists for longer than a year, it raises the risk of relationship and mental health issues.

Premature ejaculation is a form of sexual dysfunction. In primary or lifelong premature ejaculation, the problem begins with the first sexual activity. Acquired or secondary premature ejaculation develops later after having a past sexual activity without ejaculation problems. Around one in three men in the age range of 18 to 59 have reported problems with premature ejaculation. However, due to fear of embarrassment, many avoid discussing this topic.

 Causative factors for premature ejaculation

Genetic

Primary premature ejaculation has been linked to genetic and familial occurrence.

Hormonal issues

Hormones play a crucial role in regulating the ejaculatory process, levels of oxytocin and estrogen are important too. Abnormal hormone levels like low testosterone, and high or low thyroid hormones, can contribute to premature ejaculation.

Abnormal levels of neurotransmitters

The ejaculation process involves the brain and the neurotransmitters control the process. The amount of time taken to ejaculate after initiating a sexual activity depends on these levels. Abnormal levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and adrenaline, can cause premature ejaculation.

Underlying medical conditions

Conditions such as erectile dysfunction, obesity, and insulin resistance, can increase the risk.

Infection/Inflammation of urethra

Sometimes, infection or inflammation of the prostate gland, urethra, or specific local infection in the area can be the cause.

Alcohol/Substance abuse

Psychological issues

Psychological issues like stress, anxiety, guilt, poor body image, lack of self-confidence, unrealistic expectations for oneself, relationship problems, mood issues, and depression can cause these problems. Fear of performance commonly occurs from being uncomfortable in a new situation, nervous with the partner, being excited about intercourse, or being simulated.
