Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

There are several reasons for premature ejaculation, such as the following:

  1. Stressful work, such as night shifts or 24-hour jobs.

  2. Medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid issues can contribute to premature ejaculation. Keeping your blood sugar, blood pressure, and thyroid hormone levels under control will help.

  3. Long-term use of medications for hypertension or psychiatric conditions.

  4. Frequent masturbation or prone masturbation.

  5. Excessive pornography consumption.

  6. Insufficient foreplay from a partner or a lack of knowledge about foreplay and female stimulation.

  7. Feelings of guilt due to an affair.

  8. Lack of exercise or obesity.

I suggest you undergo the following investigations:

  1. FBS (fasting blood sugar) and PPBS (postprandial blood sugar) to rule out diabetes.

  2. Monitor your blood pressure.

  3. Test Free T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine), and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) to rule out thyroid issues.

As a temporary solution, you can use Duralast (Dapoxetine) 30 milligram tablets.

Natural methods to improve sexual performance are as follows:

  1. Women should receive 15 to 20 minutes of foreplay, and men should receive 10 to 15 minutes of foreplay to ensure a good blood supply to the penis for a long and firm erection.

  2. Foreplay should be relaxed.

  3. Your partner should learn to provide foreplay in a way that prevents premature ejaculation while allowing you to enjoy the experience.

  4. Relaxing music may help create a calming atmosphere.

  5. Delaying condoms can also be beneficial.

  6. Inserting the penis into the vagina is not the sole focus of sex. Sex is not a race, and duration does not guarantee your partner’s satisfaction.

  7. Love your partner, learn about female stimulation, and help your partner achieve orgasm or climax.

I hope that this answers your query.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
