What is Premature Ejaculation?
Simply put, premature ejaculation (PE) is when a male frequently reaches sexual climax earlier than both partners would like during sex. PE can be damaging to a man’s self confidence, cause troubles in relationships and even lead to depression. PE is a progressive health problem and ongoing struggles with it can make the condition worsen over time. For some men, PE only occurs while having sex with a partner but for some men it can occur during masturbation as well. If you are suffering from PE, the good news is that it is treatable and the Boston Medical group has been helping men overcome it for over a decade through The Boston Method.
What Are the Most Common Signs of PE?
Although there is no scientifically-determined time that sexual intercourse should last, here a few common problems associated with PE:
- Ejaculating before, during or shortly after penetration.
- Reaching orgasm before both partners are satisfied.
- The inability for a man to control his ejaculation.
How Common is PE?
PE is the most frequently reported sexual health problem for men under 40. Research shows that about one in three men are affected by PE to some degree.
What Causes PE?
Many men suffer from PE not because of a psychological problem but because they have an over sensitive glans penis (or the head) which causes them to be over stimulated during sex and climax earlier. Frequent occurrence of PE can lead to anxiety or fear of failure which can work to make the problem worsen over time. Sometimes, PE may occur concurrently with erectile dysfunction. If this is the case, Boston Medical Group will first work with a patient’s ED problem before addressing PE.
PE can be caused by the following biological problems:
- Hormonal imbalances
- Abnormal reflex activity of the ejaculatory system
- Thyroid issues
- Inflammation and infection of the urethra or prostate
- Neurotransmitter abnormalities
- Genetic abnormalities
Why Should PE Be Treated?
Sex is a very important part of healthy romantic relationships. PE can lead to feelings of guilt, anxiety, depression and have a profoundly negative impact on a man’s self confidence. Like any other medical issue, PE should be treated at its onset to prevent it from worsening over time. If you think you may be having difficulty lasting as long as you or your partner would like, make an appointment with the Boston Medical Group and they can have you back to peak sexual performance in as little as one visit!
