Understanding Premature Ejaculation (PE)

• PE is when ejaculation happens sooner than desired during sex. Common causes include stress, anxiety, and relationship issues.

Behavioral Techniques

• Use the 'stop-start' and 'squeeze' techniques to delay ejaculation. Practice these methods during sexual activity to gain better control.

Psychological Approaches

• Manage stress and anxiety. Consider counseling or sex therapy to address emotional or psychological factors.

Medical Treatments

• Topical anesthetics like lidocaine-prilocaine creams can reduce sensitivity. Oral medications such as SSRIs may be prescribed by a doctor.

Lifestyle Modifications

• Engage in regular exercise, maintain a healthy diet, and avoid excessive alcohol or smoking.

When to See a Specialist

• Consult a urologist or sexual health specialist if symptoms persist for personalized evaluation and treatment.

Summary and Encouragement

• PE is common and treatable. Open communication with healthcare providers is encouraged for effective management.
