Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am an 18-year-old male. I have been having premature ejaculation and nightfall when I am stressed or taking my examinations. This has been happening every day now.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I can understand your concern.

It can be due to increased erotic stimulus, be it mental, physical, or visual, without sex or masturbation. At this age, you will have good testosterone production; there will be 20000 sperm produced every minute, and that is a lot of semen production. You need to bring it out by masturbation or sex; if not, it will come out on its own when you are very relaxed. Since you know the cause, treating it is easy. Ways to reduce the frequent erotic stimuli are:

  1. Limit the intake of caffeinated beverages and foods after late afternoon. Consuming caffeine before bedtime can stimulate the brain and cause erotic dreams.
  2. Take a cold shower before bedtime. This decreases the excessive sensitivity in the genital region.
  3. Limit and control your stress levels. Stress can be a triggering factor to anything and everything. Hence, to obtain a peaceful night’s sleep, keeping a check on your stress levels is necessary.
  4. Avoid sleeping on your back or stomach. These positions are known to cause sleep orgasms. Better sleep on your side.
  5. Exercise regularly and keep your body and mind relaxed. Excessive tension or anxiety and body tiredness together elevate your chances of sleep orgasms.
  6. Avoid watching and reading erotic content at night. These stimulate both your body and mind and result in wet dreams while you are asleep.
  7. For a temporary solution, you can take tablet Pari 10 mg (Paroxetine) once a night for 15 days.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
