Premature Ejaculation / PE

Classification and Causes of Premature Ejaculation or PE

RSS Feeds   Text 
Premature ejaculation is classified as primary (primary PE) when it is life long for a patient and for which no specific cause can be found.

Secondary or acquired premature ejaculation (secondary PE) is one in which a previously normal male begins to experience premature ejaculation. It is often secondary to certain problems or diseases and may also be associated with erectile dysfunction.

Causes for premature ejaculation are:

  1. Psychological- often there is no real problem in the man and the condition is thought to be due to emotional and psychological
It is often thought that traumatic experiences or masturbation or those “conditioned to have quick sex” often suffer later in life with premature ejaculation.

Another theory postulates that oversensitivity of the glans penis along with hyperactive sympathetic nervous system pathways frequently suffer from premature ejaculation.

  1. Prostatic problems
  2. Hormonal disturbances like thyroid problems
  3. Changes in neurotransmitter levels in the brain.
  4. There are differences in the nerve conduction times and latency period of the nerves associated with ejaculation in those that suffer from premature ejaculation compared to those who do not-suggesting a biochemical basis in those affected.
Genetic link?

Researchers from a Dutch university in Utrecht have pointed to an evidence of a genetic cause for ejaculatory dysfunction. They found that a genetic derangement might cause changes in the neurotransmitter level of serotonin in the brain that give rise to premature ejaculation.2

Hi Doc, I ejaculate within 20-40 seconds from penetration. I am suffering with this problem from more than 20 years. I am 53 yrs on medication high cholesterol. In fact, I never experienced more than 60 seconds. Sometime, I tried withdrawal technique. But as soon as I entered again, I felt urge to ejaculate. Pl. suggest.

Premature ejaculation is indeed a problem for couples. It leads to frustration on the part of the female because she was not able to have an orgasm. It is best to seek for psychological counseling or other treatment if the man have this problem.
