Ejaculating prematurely can be mortifying, especially when you wanted to make the most of the time with your partner. Don’t think you’re alone. Almost 30 to 75% of men deal with this sexual dysfunction. This condition can either be acquired or life-long. Whether you think there’s  a psychological or a biological cause for ejaculating prematurely, it’s important to get checked and diagnosed for the proper treatment. Get in touch with us for the best online professional doctor's consultation and let us help you.

How Does Ejaculation Work?

Ejaculation occurs in two steps: emission and expulsion.

Emission

During this step, sperm starts to move from the testes to the prostate and along with the seminal fluid, they form the semen.

Expulsion

During this step, the muscles in the base of the penis contract. This contraction leads to the ejection of the semen during climax.

Reasons For Premature Ejaculation

The reason for ejaculating prematurely can be psychological or biological. Sometimes men have a chemical imbalance in their brains that leads premature ejaculation (PE). This is why PE also becomes psychological and men can have severe psychological problems like anxiety, depression, and low confidence in sexual performance.
The exact reason for PE has still not been determined, but here are some of the possible factors that can lead to PE.

Low Serotonin Levels

Serotonin is a brain neurotransmitter that extends the time for ejaculation. But low serotonin levels can shorten the time it takes to ejaculate.

Poor Mental Health

It is crucial to take care of your mental health and receive treatment if you’re suffering from any mental health issues. A variety of psychological problems can cause PE in men. They can be:

  • Depression
  • Low self-esteem
  • Guilt
  • Stress
  • Sexual repression
  • Anxiety
  • Trauma

Effects Of Aging on Ejaculation

There isn’t a direct link between aging and PE, but with age, men may start to notice changes in ejaculations and erections. Older men might face issues in getting hard and maintaining the erection. This can also lead to ejaculating prematurely.

Being Comfortable With Your Partner

Unrealistic expectations from sexual encounters or not feeling comfortable around your partner can be another reason for PE.
