Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern about your symptoms.

There are many reasons for premature ejaculation such as:

  1. Stressful work like doing night duties, and jobs that involve working overtime.

  2. Diabetes (elevated blood glucose levels), hypertension (elevated blood pressure), and thyroid issues can result in premature ejaculation. Keeping your blood sugar, blood pressure, and thyroid hormones under control will help.

  3. Taking long-term medications related to hypertension or taking anti-psychiatric medications.

  4. Frequent masturbation or prone masturbation.

  5. Watching excess porn.

  6. Receiving less foreplay from a partner or lack of knowledge regarding foreplay and female masturbation.

  7. Having an affair can give you a guilty feeling.

  8. Lack of exercise or being obese.

You need to check FBS (fasting blood sugar) and PPBS (postprandial blood sugar) levels to rule out diabetes. Also, check your BP (blood pressure), and free T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine), and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) levels to rule out thyroid issues. You can take the tablet Dapoxetine (Duralast) 30 mg as a temporary solution after consulting with your physician.

A few natural methods to deal with premature ejaculation are as follows:

  1. Increase the foreplay duration during sex. Women should receive 15 to 20 minutes of foreplay and men should receive 10 to 15 minutes of foreplay for a good blood supply to the penis and to achieve a long and hard erection. Foreplay should be done in a relaxed manner. Your partner should learn to give foreplay in a way you do not ejaculate and instead enjoy.

  2. You can try relaxing music.

  3. Using delay-timing condoms can help you.

  4. Inserting the penis into the vagina is not everything in sex. Sex is not a race and the duration does not matter. Love your partner, learn about female masturbation, and give your partner an orgasm or climax.

I hope this helps. Do get back in case of any further queries.

Thank you.
