Premature Ejaculation (PE)

is a common sexual dysfunction in men, characterized by ejaculation that happens sooner than desired during sexual activity, causing distress or frustration. It can affect sexual satisfaction and lead to issues in relationships.

Types of Premature Ejaculation:

• Lifelong (Primary) PE: Occurs consistently from the first sexual encounter. Often linked to biological factors, such as serotonin imbalances.
• Acquired (Secondary) PE: Develops later in life after previous normal sexual experiences. Usually associated with psychological issues, stress, or medical conditions.

Possible Causes:



• Biological Factors: Hormonal imbalances. Abnormal neurotransmitter levels. Genetic predispositions. Underlying medical conditions like prostatitis or erectile dysfunction.
  

Psychological Factors:



• Anxiety (performance-related or generalized). Stress or depression. Relationship problems.

Other Factors:



• Lack of sexual experience. Over-sensitivity of the penis. Use of certain medications or substances.

Symptoms:



• • Persistent or recurrent ejaculation within one minute of penetration or before the person wishes. • Inability to delay ejaculation during most sexual encounters. • Negative emotional impact, such as frustration or embarrassment.
