What is premature ejaculation?
The term describes ejaculation that happens sooner than a person or couple would like, particularly when it is persistent and difficult to control. There is no need to judge the problem by a single stopwatch figure; its frequency, degree of control and impact on wellbeing are important.
What can cause it?
Possible contributing factors include anxiety, relationship or sexual concerns, erectile difficulties and, in some cases, physical health factors. New or unexplained symptoms may need broader medical assessment.
What treatments are available?
Management depends on the individual. Behavioural approaches, psychosexual support and, where clinically appropriate, medicines may be considered. Any prescription treatment requires assessment of suitability, other medicines, health conditions and potential risks.
When should you seek help?
Consider speaking to a healthcare professional when the problem is persistent, is causing distress, has appeared unexpectedly, occurs alongside erectile dysfunction or other symptoms, or when you are unsure whether a treatment is safe for you.
