Ejaculation is the release of semen from the penis after engaging in a sexual activity. Generally, it is after a desired period of time, but in some cases it might happen before that. Premature climax or ejaculation is nothing to worry about but can cause distress in your sexual relations and cause dissatisfaction to your partner. In some cases, it might cause other sexual health concerns so it is advisable to ask for medical help if you experience this at any point of time.
What are the causes for Premature Ejaculation?
Ejaculation is controlled by our nervous system, thus any medical condition can affect the control on ejaculation. Medical conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Multiple Sclerosis to name a few are some conditions which can cause premature ejaculation. Apart from that old age is also a factor. As we grow old, the health of our motor controls and nervous system declines which can also lead to premature ejaculation.
Sometimes low levels of a chemical called Serotonin in our brain can also cause PE, a simple prescription of antidepressants can fix that. However before getting on any medication you must see your General Physician and discuss about the side effects and all the medications that you are taking currently so as to minimize the side effects.
There is also a psychological cause like unrealistic performance expectations, performance anxiety, high levels of stress etc. can also cause premature climax in men and affect their overall sense of self and sexual health in the long run.
There is no exact treatment plan which works for everyone. In every adult man the symptoms are different and thus the causes of PE will also be different. Thus you should definitely consult a sexologist and after discussing your particular problem they will give you a treatment plan which will include therapy and medication if required.
