Men's Sexual Problem

Premature ejaculation (PE)
Premature ejaculation occurs when a man has an orgasm and ejaculates earlier during intercourse than he or his partner would like. It's a common problem, affecting 30% to 40% of men. Causes include physical problems, chemical imbalances and emotional/psychological factors. Common treatment for premature ejaculation- behavioral techniques, topical anesthetics, medications and counseling.
Causes and Risk Factors
Men who have low levels of the chemical serotonin in their brains tend to take a shorter time to ejaculate.The main symptom of premature ejaculation is not being able to delay ejaculation for more than three minutes after penetration. Premature ejaculation can be classified as:
Lifelong. Lifelong premature ejaculation occurs all or nearly all the time beginning with the first sexual encounter.
Acquired. Acquired premature ejaculation develops after having previous sexual experiences without problems with ejaculation.
Emotional factors like - Stress, Depression, Anxiety, Relationship problems, Lack of Concentration or poor body image, Concern over your sexual performance play a role.
Some physical conditions may also cause PE, including : Unusual hormone levels,Irregular levels of neurotransmitters (an imbalance of the chemicals in your brain that pass messages or impulses to the rest of your body)
Complications
Premature ejaculation can cause issues in your personal life. They might include:
Stress and relationship problems. A common complication of premature ejaculation is relationship stress.
Fertility problems. Premature ejaculation can sometimes make it hard for a partner to get pregnant.
Many people feel that they have symptoms of premature ejaculation, but the symptoms don't meet the criteria for a diagnosis. It's typical to experience early ejaculation at time.
Treating the erectile dysfunction may make the premature ejaculation go away. There are many medication options.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
ED may alert a lack of blood flow, which indicates trouble in other parts of the body too, such as the heart and the brain. If you develop ED, it is as likely to predict a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years as smoking or family history of heart disease. ED is another major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and should prompt further evaluation even without other risk factors.
