Premature ejaculation is a common sexual health issue where ejaculation happens sooner than desired during sexual activity. It can cause distress or frustration for one or both partners.

Key points to understand:

• Definition: Ejaculation that occurs within about one minute of penetration or earlier than a man or his partner would like.
• Causes: Can be due to psychological factors like anxiety or stress, biological factors such as hormone levels or nerve sensitivity, or a combination.
• Impact: It may affect self-esteem and relationship satisfaction.
• Management: Treatments include behavioral techniques (such as start-stop or squeeze methods), counseling with a psychologist or sex therapist, pelvic floor exercises, use of climax-control condoms, and sometimes medications like topical anesthetics or oral drugs prescribed by a doctor.

If this is a concern, consulting a doctor or a specialist in sexual health can help identify the cause and appropriate treatment options.
