PE is the most common ejaculatory disorder. It occurs when a man ejaculates before the men or his partner want climax to happen. For some men, the problem starts with their first sexual experience (primary PE). For others, it happens after a period of normal sexual functioning (secondary PE).

PE often becomes a problem for the couple. Many men with PE feel embarrassed, anxious, depressed, and worried about pleasing a partner. Single men sometimes avoid new relationships because of the stress of PE.

Causes of PE

Psychological factors may play a role, but some believe that a chemical imbalance or receptor sensitivity changes in the brain are the cause, at least for some men.

Low testosterone level contribute in poor control of ejaculation.

Infection in urinary tract and genital glans affect ability of ejaculation control.
