Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

There are many reasons for premature ejaculation, such as:

  1. Stressful work: Night duties and twenty-four-hour jobs.

  2. Diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid issues have an effect on premature ejaculation. Keeping your blood sugar, blood pressure, and thyroid hormones under control will help you.

  3. On long-term medication related to hypertension and anti-psychotic medications.

  4. Frequent masturbation or prone masturbation.

  5. Excess porn.

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

  7. Having an affair gives you a guilty feeling.

  8. Lack of exercise and obesity.

Management:

  1. You need to check FBS (fasting blood sugar) and PPBS (post-prandial blood sugar) to rule out diabetes, check your BP (blood pressure), and free T3 (triiodothyroxine), T4 (thyroxine), and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) to rule out thyroid issues.

  2. You can use tablet Duralast (Dapoxetine hydrochloride) 30 milligrams as a temporary solution after consulting your physician.

  3. Natural method: To increase the foreplay duration during sex women should receive fifteen to twenty minutes of foreplay and men should receive ten to fifteen minutes of foreplay for a good blood supply to the penis for a long and hard erection. Foreplay should be relaxed. Your partner should learn to give foreplay in a way you do not ejaculate and enjoy.

  4. You can try relaxing music.

  5. Delay condoms can help you.

I hope this has helped you.

Please feel free to reach out to me again if you have further queries.

Thank you.
