Delayed ejaculation: Causes and solutions

What is Delayed Ejaculation?

A man having trouble or being unable to have an orgasm and ejaculate semen is said to have delayed ejaculation. Men who struggle to climax can do so for a variety of reasons, both physical and psychological.

Despite having a typical erection, delayed ejaculation is when a person with a penis takes more than 30 minutes to ejaculate.

Around 1–4% of men suffer with delayed ejaculation.

Distress might arise for both the male and his partner as a result. It can lead to sexual discomfort, decreased libido, and general health worry. Relationship issues include anxiety for couples who want to start a family as well as shared fears of rejection.

At some point in their lives, the majority of men will have delayed ejaculation, but for some, it is a persistent issue.

The cause of delayed ejaculation determines the course of treatment. For instance, if SSRIs are the problem, a doctor can recommend a different medication.

Reduce or stop using alcohol and non-prescription drugs if they are contributing factors. If there are other medical disorders present, treating the underlying one—like a neurological issue—might assist with the delayed ejaculation.

The underlying causes of delayed ejaculation could be difficult to cure. They frequently need the assistance of trained counselors, such as:

• psychologists
• psychotherapists
• Psychosexual therapists
• sexual counselors
• Couples counselors
