Premature Ejaculation Advice

What is premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation put simply, means reaching too soon during sex. Of course what is ‘too quickly’ is highly subjective, as opinion differs from person to person, but it is usually defined as coming in less than two minutes after penetration. A ‘satisfactory’ amount time before ejaculation could, perhaps, be best described as one in which both partners have had pleasure from the sexual act.

Is there a treatment for PE?

Yes there is. At Private Doctor Direct we are able to prescribe a medication that comes as a tablet, which will stop premature ejaculation. There are also other treatments available such as anaesthetic gel and condoms, which have a mild anaesthetic coating on the interior. Cognitive therapy is sometimes recommended.

What causes premature ejaculation?

The main causes of premature ejaculation tend to be psychological rather than physical, with nervousness about sex often cited by men suffering from the condition. This is to not say, however, that there may not be an underlying physical reason for premature ejaculation; it can be caused by an inflammation of the prostate. If you have additional symptoms to premature ejaculation you should discuss them with your doctor during your consultation.

Are there other types of ejaculatory problems?

Yes there are. There are two other forms of ejaculation dysfunction: retrograde and retarded ejaculation.

Retarded ejaculation is the condition of being unable to ejaculate during sex despite wanting to.

Retrograde ejaculation is the name of a condition in which a valve at the bladder’s base does not close properly during ejaculation and cum is forced into the bladder rather than out of the urethra. The man will have an orgasm but little, or no ejaculate will be produced from the penis making conception difficult.

Retrograde ejaculation is uncommon and may result from problems connected with surgery or from other health issues. Treatment is dependant on the cause of the problem.

At Private Doctor Direct we are able to prescribe medication for premature ejaculation only. If you are suffering from another form of ejaculation dysfunction we recommend that you speak to your GP.
