Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation, or early ejaculation, is a sexual dysfunction that refers to the occurrence of ejaculation sooner than desired and beyond the individual's control during sexual intercourse. This condition can make it difficult to complete sexual intercourse satisfactorily and can cause anxiety and stress regarding sexual activity.

​

Symptoms and Effects

Symptoms may include uncontrolled ejaculation during sexual intercourse, ejaculation occurring earlier than desired, and this situation causing anxiety or low self-esteem in the individual. This can lead to stress and unhappiness in relationships between partners.

​

Causes

Physical factors can include hormonal imbalances, nervous system disorders, and prostate issues. Psychological factors may play a significant role, including stress, performance anxiety, relationship problems, and negative experiences related to one's sexual history.

​

Treatment and Support

It is generally treatable successfully. The treatment plan varies depending on the underlying causes. If there are physical reasons, medication treatments or surgical interventions may be recommended. For psychological reasons, individual and couple therapy, sex therapy, and relaxation techniques may be suggested.

​

Societal Awareness

Premature ejaculation is often an unspoken topic in society. Therefore, increasing societal awareness and providing support on this issue is important. Individuals experiencing premature ejaculation should be encouraged to communicate openly and honestly about it and seek professional help.
