FAQ
Q1. What is Premature Ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation (PE) is a sexual condition where a man ejaculates sooner than desired during sexual activity, often within 1–2 minutes of penetration. It can happen with minimal stimulation and may cause stress, dissatisfaction, or relationship concerns.
Q2. Premature Ejaculation Means
Premature ejaculation means the inability to control ejaculation timing during sex. It may occur before or shortly after penetration and can be lifelong or develop later. PE is common and treatable with proper medical and behavioral approaches.
Q3. Reason of Premature Ejaculation
The reasons for premature ejaculation include anxiety, stress, hormonal imbalance, erectile dysfunction, oversensitivity of nerves, thyroid problems, or psychological factors. In some cases, lifestyle habits like smoking or alcohol also contribute.
Q4. Premature Ejaculation Cause
Causes of premature ejaculation can be psychological or physical. Common causes include performance anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low serotonin levels, prostatitis, or nerve sensitivity. Identifying the cause helps in choosing the right treatment.
Q5. Premature Ejaculation Treatment
Premature ejaculation treatment includes behavioral techniques, counseling, pelvic floor exercises, medications, and topical anesthetic creams. A doctor may recommend treatment based on whether the condition is psychological, physical, or both.
Q6. Premature Ejaculation Drugs
Premature ejaculation drugs include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), erectile dysfunction medications, and sometimes antidepressants. These drugs help delay ejaculation but should be taken only under medical supervision to avoid side effects.
Q7. Premature Ejaculation Drug
A premature ejaculation drug works by improving control over ejaculation timing. Some medications increase serotonin levels, which helps delay climax. The choice of drug depends on individual health, severity, and doctor’s recommendation.
Q8. Medicine for Premature Ejaculation
Medicine for premature ejaculation may include oral tablets or topical applications that reduce penile sensitivity. These medicines can improve sexual performance and confidence when used correctly under a doctor’s guidance.
Q9. Premature Ejaculation Tablet
Premature ejaculation tablets are commonly prescribed to delay ejaculation and improve control. They should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, as improper use can cause side effects like dizziness or reduced libido.
Q10.Can Premature Ejaculation Cause Pregnancy?
Yes, premature ejaculation can cause pregnancy. Even if ejaculation happens early, sperm can still enter the vagina and fertilize an egg. Timing does not prevent pregnancy unless proper contraception is used.
