According to medical experts, premature ejaculation is a disorder that may be found in approximately 30% of all adult males. While men with premature ejaculation can be healthy, father children, engage in intercourse, and lead happy relationships, they may feel like something is always missing. First and foremost, men with premature ejaculation may not even know that they have an issue until someone else brings it to their attention. Whether knowledge of premature ejaculation becomes apparent during their youth or the latter stages of their lives, they can inadvertently feel that their sexual performance is not up to scratch. The good news is that premature ejaculation is treatable and patience is often the key ingredient.
How Do You Know If You Have Premature Ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation is a medical condition, but it is more based on a feeling than a scientific definition. If you are engaging in sexual relations and you repeatedly ejaculating before you want to, then you probably have a premature ejaculation issue. If your partner brings it to your attention that you seem to be finishing quicker than average, you might also have a reason for concern. Your doctor can diagnose you, but that is generally based on your own verbal description of symptoms rather than physical observations.
Can You Have Premature Ejaculation and Erectile Dysfunction?
Strangely enough, premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction can appear in the same patients. Despite the fact that erectile dysfunction sufferers have a hard time attaining erections, it is still possible. If after a short period of time ejaculation occurs, you have a case wherein a patient may have both of these disorders. Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction can be treated using similar methods.
How Can a Urologist Help with Premature Ejaculation?
When you express to your urologist that you have been having trouble with erectile dysfunction, you may need to fill out a questionnaire or even have to give a blood sample. Eventually, your urologist will make some concrete findings and tell you what can be done to prevent premature ejaculation from being a problem. The fix could be surgical in nature or it may even be for you to avoid over stimulating yourself.
Some patients have concerns about premature ejaculation because of depression or having other medical issues. Sometimes when those problems clear up, premature ejaculation stops.
