Premature Ejaculation - Hampering Men's Sexual Health

Many men infrequently ejaculate sooner than they or their partner would like during sexual intercourse. As long as it happens occasionally, it's probably not cause for alarm. However, if you ejaculate sooner on a regular basis you might be suffering from a condition known as premature ejaculation.

In some cases, premature ejaculation is a secondary problem related to erectile dysfunction. Men who are anxious about obtaining or maintaining their erection during sexual intercourse may form a pattern of rushing to ejaculate.

Signs and symptoms There's no medical standard for how long it should take a man to ejaculate. The primary sign of premature ejaculation is ejaculation that occurs before both partners wish in the majority of sexual encounters, causing distress for one or both partners. Doctors often classify premature ejaculation as either primary or secondary:

• Primary Premature ejaculation - You have primary premature ejaculation if you've experienced the problem for as long as you've been sexually active.
• Secondary Premature ejaculation - You have secondary premature ejaculation if you developed the condition after having had previous, satisfying sexual relationships without ejaculatory problems.

Causes Premature ejaculation is considered a psychological problem in some cases. Some doctors believe that early sexual experiences, especially those in which you may have hurried to reach climax in order to avoid being discovered, may establish a lifelong pattern. If you grew up in a family that considered sex dirty or sinful, you may also have developed guilty feelings that increase your tendency to rush through sexual encounters.

Medications You may need to take medications on a daily basis to prevent premature ejaculation. Taking a low dose several hours before you plan to have sexual intercourse may be sufficient to improve your symptoms. Talk with your doctor to determine the best medication schedule for your needs.

Some topical anesthetic creams also may help improve premature ejaculation by reducing sensation. Before use, make certain you should check up your history that you are not affected in a negative manner by the use of these medicines. Some exercise may also help in this case.

Effective in most cases, and almost free of side effects. This is a wonderful advancement! Please proceed with caution and examine where it fits into your relationship.
