Premature Ejaculation: Causes and Treatment

Premature ejaculation Doctors Houston
Data shows that premature ejaculation (PE) affects 4-39% of men at one point in their life.  While many men initially feel embarrassed by this symptoms, it is much more common than you would expect.  Most men use the search term ‘premature ejaculation doctors near me’ to find timely help, but many psychiatrists will also treat this problem.

Men with an IELT (intravaginal ejaculation) of less than a minute suffer from “definite premature ejaculation.” In contrast, those with an IELT of 1 to 1.5 minutes have “probable PE.”

PE is “persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal stimulation before, on or shortly after penetration and before the person wishes it, over which the sufferer has little or no voluntary control," according to the World Health Organization.

Since people have varying expectations from their sex life, it is not easy to define premature ejaculation based on sexual performance. A typical ejaculation occurs five minutes after the inception of sexual activity. However, some people wish to ejaculate before or after five minutes. The difference in sexual preferences explains why the definition of PE relies on the time an individual desire to ejaculate. 

The majority of men have ejaculated before they wish, so doctors emphasize frequent unintentional ejaculations when diagnosing PE. 

​Causes of Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation results from psychological as well as neurobiological causes. Some psychological factors include:
  1. Religious beliefs
  2. Expecting failure
  3. Anxiety and depression 
  4. Stress
  5. Relationship problems
​

Diagnosis for Premature Ejaculation

Men have varying degrees of control over when to ejaculate during sex.  PE can get in the way of your sexual pleasure, cause problems in intimate relationships, or prevent you from pursuing close relationships. 
​

Premature ejaculation doctors conduct a physical exam before diagnosis. They also a multitude of questions like:
  • The type of sexual activity you are currently involved in, e.g., foreplay, intercourse, masturbation, etc.
  • How long the PE has been there 
  • The time it takes to ejaculate during masturbation vs intercourse
  • Whether you experience PE with all, some or, one partner
  • Frequency of premature ejaculation
  • The effects of PE on your life
  • Whether you have had regular sexual encounters without PE. If yes, what you think made the intercourse regular. And, whether you had PE at the time of normal intercourse
  • What you think makes your premature ejaculation worse or better
​

Treatment options for PE

When you search for ‘premature ejaculation doctors near me’ or speak with your psychiatrist you will notice that doctors use the following treatment methods:

Behavioral therapy relies on exercise to train the body to delay ejaculation. The start-stop and squeeze method are the most common exercise routines for treating PE.  

Psychological treatment focuses on emotions and feelings that lead to sexual problems. The therapy aims to get the root of issues and find solutions. Psychological treatment can be used alone or with another treatment. 

There are no medications specifically FDA approved for PE, but premature ejaculation doctors often use some antidepressants to treat PE. Not all medications work for each person, so the physician might recommend a different drug if the first drug fails. Timing of when to take the medication should be discussed with your physician. 
​

Specialists such as sex therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, or urologists provide treatment for premature ejaculation. To find a specialist in Houston, look for ‘Houston premature ejaculation doctors’ or talk to your psychiatrist at Your Family Psychiatrist.

I want to use this opportunity to testify of the marvelous work of Dr. Odunga and how he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for Dr. Odunga in herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV 16. I used to have incessant bleeding and there was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. Odunga Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using the herbal medicine, within a  week I couldn't feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you contact him to help you at his email [email protected] OR What'sApp/Call him at +2348167159012

He is 100% reliable to help you too.

Do you find your problem hard for you? Are you finding it difficult looking for a reliable herbal healer to cure your cancer? I say this because I have been helped by Lord Krish Spiritual in restoring happiness into my life. My mother has been sick with Stage 4 Melanoma Cancer which nearly took the life of my mother. I was sad because of this sickness and I didn't know what to do to save my mother's life. I would never have met Lord Krish if my friend had not introduced him to me by telling me about a spell caster who has helped so many people worldwide. I contacted Lord Krish at [email protected] and within 3 days, I received herbal medicine from him through a courier and I used it on my mother. Within a week, mother was cured and healed. I would advise anyone out there to Contact Lord Krish at [email protected] and meet him to help you
