What is Premature Ejaculation?
Premature Ejaculation(PE) also known as early ejaculation is a condition which comprises of (i) short ejaculatory latency(1-3 min or less), (ii)inability to delay ejaculation on all, or nearly all vaginal penetrations and (iii) negative personal consequences including distress, frustration, avoidance of intercourse and interpersonal issues.
What are the causes of PE?
Primary PE can be triggered by psychological impulses like conditioning, upbringing, or traumatic sexual experience. Secondary PE can be triggered by diabetes, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, alcoholism, or use of recreational drugs. Psychological issues like depression, stress, or anxiety about sexual performance can also trigger PE. PE is common in patients with substance abuse. Besides, lack of sleep can lead to low serotonin, also resulting in PE.
What are the treatment options of PE?
PE can be easily treated with behavioural therapy, oral medication, topical medication .One can try kegel’s exercise, ‘stop-start’ and ‘squeeze’ techniques at home. A newer treatment option, EMSELLA, uses high intensity focused electromagnetic therapy to deliver 20,000 contractions a minute which is akin to 20,000 kegel ‘s exercise in a minute. Treatment with EMSELLA strenghthens the pelvic muscles and improves performance.
