Premature Ejaculation Problems And The Causes

Premature Ejaculation is a common yet rather embarrassing complaint that has been affecting men for many generations. As yet, there is no certainty to what exactly causes it.

There was a time when the so-called experts strongly believed that premature ejaculation was the result of some deep-seated psychological problems lurking in the minds of men and affecting their sexual performance. That idea has since been junked. Today, the prevailing belief is that premature ejaculation is caused by both biological and psychological factors.

The problem is, medicine has not yet reached that state where they can identify with precision what exactly causes premature ejaculation for a specific individual. As a result, treatments for premature ejaculation have adapted a shotgun approach that addresses both biological and psychological factors.

Added to that there is the belief that erectile dysfunction plays a part in many mens problems.

At last there is good news for sufferers. A host of treatments have been developed to successfully cure the condition and these include pharmaceuticals, psychological counseling and sexual techniques or exercises. The aim of these is to give a man better control over his orgasm and for most, a combination of techniques will give the best results.

The following are some of the signs, symptoms, causes and risk factors that contribute to premature ejaculation. Use this as a guide in assessing your own struggles with premature ejaculation, whether present or potential.

Signs and symptoms We don't know for sure how long it should take for a normal man to reach orgasm, so there is no accepted version of what is normal Most experts are in agreement of the definition of the problem - that is premature ejaculation is defined as when a man reaches ejaculation before he wants to, during most of his sexual encounters. Thsi may be either during masturbation or through a sexual encounter. Experts have divided premature ejaculation in to two types:

1.Primary Premature Ejaculation -- If you have been suffering from premature ejaculation ever since you have been sexually active.

2.Secondary Premature Ejaculation -- If you have been suffering from premature ejaculation only after you enjoyed previously satisfying sexual encounters without such problems.

While the experts have ruled out psychological factors as the sole reason for premature ejaculation, they have not yet reached the point where they can diagnose a specific cause for each individual. However, there have been great strides made in treating the biological and psychological factors that cause the problem. There are four basic psychological causes that can cause premature ejaculation. These are:

1. Instances when the man had to rush to reach orgasm as he didn't want to be caught int he act by another person.

2. Strong feelings of guilt that make a man rush through his sexual encounters.

3. Men who suffer from erectile dysfunction and are concerned about maintaining their erection through their sexual experience. This may result in establishing a pattern where the man rushes to climax while he still has an erection.

4. Men who get anxious , particularly about their sexual performance or other matters.

In addition, there are also six basic biological causes that can lead to premature ejaculation. These are:

1.Abnormal hormone

2.Abnormal levels of neurotransmitters (brain chemicals)

3.Abnormal reflex activity of the ejaculatory system

4.Particular thyroid problems

5.Infection and inflammation of the urethra or prostate

6.Inherited traits

Some doctors believe that lifelong Primary Premature Ejaculation is usually a result of biological causes.

Also, some additional rare causes of premature ejaculation can include the following:

1.Damaged nervous system resulting from trauma or surgery

2.Withdrawal from certain drugs - such as narcotics or anxiety drugs such as trifluoperazine.

Risk Factors Finally, the risk of premature ejaculation can be increased due to some factors. These include:

1.Impotence -- Having erection problems often leads to premature ejaculation. Some estimates are that one of three men suffering from premature ejaculation also have impotence problems.

2.Health problems -- Some medical conditions may make a man feel anxious about sex, such as a heart disorders, and compel him to rush through sex.

3.Stress -- Feeling stressed about other areas of your life can limit your ability to relax and lead to premature ejaculation.
