A considerable number of the male population suffers from premature ejaculation; however, most of them fail to get it checked from a good sexologist. It is a serious issue that can demean the self-esteem of an individual and make him feel inferior. The individual is not able to hold the semen inside that is characterized by the untimely emission of semen during sexual intercourse. The individual faces difficulty in holding the semen inside the penis even for a short period of time post-penetration. It is somewhat involuntary in nature and is caused majorly due to anxiety.

Premature ejaculation can be cured using various kinds of therapies that influence the behavior and psychology. Medicine for this problem should be the last resort treatment. This condition can lead to distress among the individuals due to lack of performance. It is, therefore, essential to educate them about the normalcy of the condition and that it can be treated.

Most of the time, premature ejaculation is experienced later in life. However, it can be a lifelong ailment if acquired genetically. Premature ejaculation is a common phenomenon faced by individuals when they indulge in sexual intercourse for the first time. It can also be situational, that is, depending on the partner and the level of sexual activity.

This condition is primarily a result of psychological factors. It can also be caused by a certain change in hormones or an injury in the pelvic region. Many individuals encounter premature ejaculation as an ill effect of medicines. Doctors diagnose the issue through physical examination, with or without tests. The tests help in identifying any underlying medical disease. Counseling is also conducted to find the root cause of the problem.

There are several remedies available and a combination of them can be used to cure premature ejaculation. These are as follows:
Thorough examination –  Usually, men try to correct this ailment through self-diagnosis and regular examination as they shy away from going to a doctor. They try to keep themselves from getting easily aroused by scrutinizing factors that catalyze sexual stimulation.With the help of their partners, they are able to establish self-control.

Check on aggression –  Aggression and hostility accompanied with stress can often expedite premature ejaculation. More often than not, managing the psychological problems can effectively treat this dysfunction. This can be achieved by being more affectionate to the female partner.

Therapies –  Exercising the Kegel muscles has proved to be effective in curing premature ejaculation. The pelvic floor gets strengthened which helps in stabilizing the response to sexual stimulation.The start-stop therapy is another technique that requires self-restraint. It involves reducing sexual activity the moment the male partner is about to reach the climax. Once, ejaculation is controlled, sexual activity is resumed.

Medication – When none of the above works or when the condition is critical, it becomes necessary to take the help of medicines. These come in the form of pills as well as ointments. Antidepressants are the most common type of pills used to cure premature ejaculation. These medicines can, however, result in reduced libido and delayed orgasm which can further lead to sexual frustration.

Education – Most couples start suffering from depression when they are not able to achieve the desired sexual behavior, especially, due to premature ejaculation. This can further aggravate the problem. The sexologist should provide them with the necessary knowledge so that they are not misled. Also, couples should keep themselves well informed about the precautions to be taken so as to prevent the problem.

Other methods – Alcohol and tobacco exacerbate many ailments including premature ejaculation. It has been found that reduction in consumption of these items can improve ejaculatory response. Practicing a different sex position, which is often neglected, may work positively towards curing this condition.

If left untreated for a long period of time, premature ejaculation can lead to a fall in relationship intimacy. The male partner may not want to indulge in sexual intercourse due to his fallen self-esteem. The female partner can help by supporting the partner emotionally. Treating premature ejaculation is more of a combined effort between both the partners. The presence of mutual trust and respect is extremely important in a relationship. Talking about the ailment helps in eliminating insecurities if any. The first step is to accept the fact that the problem itself is treatable. While men feel embarrassed to visit a doctor, they should understand that the doctor deals with such clients on a day-to-day basis. The individual should inform his doctor about his sexual history, medical history, and the exact problem that he is facing. The individual should, also, ask any questions that might be troubling him.

By following the ways mentioned above and with a timely visit to the doctor, a person can cure the occurrence of premature ejaculation.
