Expert Medical Information

The causes of premature ejaculation are very complex. A man's ejaculation time is affected by many factors, such as age, physical condition, emotions, and psychology. There are also individual differences in the length of the ejaculation latency period.

In addition, factors like foreskin problems, phimosis, prostatitis, urethritis, excessive and frequent masturbation or sexual intercourse, lack of sexual experience, irregular sexual life, and a long interval between two sexual encounters can all lead to short sexual intercourse time and premature ejaculation.

Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, and discomfort in the affected area. Always consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly laboratory tests or imaging studies depending on the suspected cause.
Treatment options vary based on the specific condition, severity, and individual health factors. They may include medication, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgical intervention.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe symptoms, rapid worsening of condition, or if self-care measures aren't providing relief within a reasonable timeframe.
