Who Does Premature Ejaculation Treatment Make Happy?

While premature ejaculation is a physical problem, it endangers family happiness due to the psychological effects it causes. Performance anxiety occurs in men who ejaculate prematurely and are aware of it; this anxiety, combined with worries like "I cannot make my wife happy," lowers men's quality of life.

The effect of premature ejaculation on women runs deeper. Because while men experiencing premature ejaculation problems are sexually satisfied (reach orgasm), the same is not true for women. Consequently, women's expectations from sexuality may decrease, coldness may enter between couples, and family happiness may be damaged.

Although premature ejaculation is a quite common sexual dysfunction both in our society and worldwide, it can be largely improved with treatment methods determined specifically for the individual by Andrologists. The important thing is to identify the physiological and psychological reasons that may cause premature ejaculation and to apply personalized treatments.

Premature Ejaculation Can Arise for Both Psychological and Physiological Reasons

Premature ejaculation, which can be observed temporarily or chronically depending on periodic stress experienced, can arise sometimes due to psychological, sometimes biological, and sometimes both biological and psychological reasons. Considering the diversity of premature ejaculation risk factors, the necessity of planning the treatment comprehensively can be understood.

Although it is not spoken about among men and is sometimes a sexual dysfunction that is difficult to accept, the fact that premature ejaculation can be treated and that couples' happiness can be increased after treatment should not be ignored.

Premature Ejaculation Treatments Must Be Planned Individually

As I mentioned earlier, premature ejaculation is a multi-faceted health problem. Feelings such as inadequacy, judgment, alienation from sexuality, and feeling unimportant that arise between couples due to premature ejaculation can be reduced by evaluating treatment options.

To start premature ejaculation treatment, couples must agree on the existence of this problem, and men must accept the treatment. This acceptance is not easy, but covering up the problems experienced can cause greater difficulties to emerge in the long run. It should not be forgotten that sexuality, which is a private experience between two people, gains value with the satisfaction of both the woman and the man; complaints of premature ejaculation should be tried to be resolved without losing time.

Premature Ejaculation Treatment Is a Process That Must Be Conducted Carefully

There is no standard surgical treatment option for premature ejaculation (except for specific cases); firstly, changes to be made in the person's lifestyle are determined.

• Doing sports,

• Eating a balanced diet,

• Quitting smoking and alcohol,

• And increasing the frequency of sexual intercourse to 2 – 3 times a week are requested.

If lifestyle changes aimed at improving general health do not cause premature ejaculation to regress, medication and exercise therapies are started.

• Medication: The aim is to extend the ejaculation time of men using drugs that suppress the nervous system (specifically the sympathetic nervous system) to the extent that their spouses will also reach sexual satisfaction. Additionally, reducing penile sensitivity is aimed with drugs in the form of sprays, gels, and creams.

• Exercise Therapies: In exercise therapies, the person gains the ability to control the muscle groups that are not under his control during ejaculation (Pelvic Floor / Kegel Exercises). Although these therapies vary from person to person, they can last between 3-6 weeks.

Recently, studies are ongoing regarding the treatment of premature ejaculation with Botulinum toxin (Botox) application, but the definitive effects of this application on premature ejaculation have not yet been determined.

When the causes of premature ejaculation are psychologically based, interviewing psychologists specializing in family and sexual counseling constitutes importance in terms of eliminating the negativities caused by premature ejaculation.
