Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been experiencing early ejaculation during sexual activity. I have tried various natural methods, like exercises, lifestyle changes, and relaxation techniques, but I have not seen much improvement.

It has been affecting my confidence and my relationship. I would like to understand what might be causing it and discuss possible treatments or tests.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

There are many reasons for premature ejaculation (PE)-

  • Stressful work – night duties, twenty-four-hour jobs.

  • Diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid issues affect premature ejaculation. Keeping your blood sugar, blood pressure, and thyroid hormones under control will help you.

  • On long-term medication related to hypertension and antipsychotic medications.

  • Frequent masturbation or prone masturbation.

  • Excess porn.

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

  • Having an affair gives you a guilty feeling.

  • Lack of exercise, obesity.

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

You can use the tablet Duralast 30 mg as a temporary solution.

Natural methods-

  • Increase the foreplay duration during sex; women should receive 15 to 20 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 done in a relaxed manner. Your partner should learn to give foreplay in a way that you don’t ejaculate and enjoy.

  • You can try relaxing music.

  • Delaying condoms can help you.

  • Inserting the penis into the vagina is not everything in sex. Sex is not a race; duration does not mean your partner is happy.

  • Love your partner, learn about female masturbation, and give your partner an orgasm or climax.

I hope this information will help you.

Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.

Thank you.
