Premature ejaculation (PE) is a condition when ejaculation happens before the intercourse or sooner than the man would like. There isn’t a set time as to when the man should ejaculate during sex, but if you lose the erection soon, it would be unsatisfactory for you and your partner.

It may happen occasionally, or it could be a regular event. Occasional PE is also known as rapid ejaculation or premature climax. While it may not be a cause for worry, it can be very frustrating for the man.

You may be diagnosed with PE if you:

• Regularly ejaculate within two minutes of penetration

• If you feel you have no control over when you ejaculate

• Feel frustrated to the point that you avoid sexual intimacy

Many men feel embarrassed about the condition and avoid going to the doctor, but it is a common and treatable condition. Our clinic can prescribe premature ejaculation pills to help you deal with this condition via MedsNow.

The primary symptom of premature ejaculation is the inability to control ejaculation. The problem may occur in all sexual situations, including masturbation.

There are two ways to classify premature ejaculation:

• Lifelong (Primary): This occurs nearly all of the time beginning with your first sexual encounter.

• Acquired (Secondary): This is when the condition develops after you’ve had previous sexual experiences without any ejaculatory issues.

Some men may feel like they have the symptoms of premature ejaculation, but the symptoms may not necessarily meet the diagnostic criteria of PE. These men may have variable premature ejaculation, which may include periods of rapid ejaculation and normal ejaculation.

The causes of premature ejaculation are not clear and may vary from one individual to another. It was once thought to be a psychological issue, but now doctors know that PE involves an interaction of psychological as well as biological factors.

Psychological Factors

They may include:

• Poor body image 

• Sexual anxiety

• Stress, anxiety, or depression

• Performance-related nervousness

• Excessive excitement

• Relationship problems

Physical Causes

Some biological factors include:

• Abnormal hormone levels

• Inherited traits

• Abnormal levels of neurotransmitters

• Inflammation or infection of the prostate or urethra

• Nerve Damage

Medical conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can also have an effect.

The doctor will come up with a premature ejaculation treatment based on the causes of PE.

Premature ejaculation is a treatable condition. Common options include medications, topical anaesthetics, counselling or therapy.

Oral medication works by increasing the serotonin levels, which delay ejaculation.

Topical ointments and creams help in tackling PE by reducing the sensitivity of the penis, which helps in extending the time to ejaculation. Most of the topical creams are applied to the penis and wiped off before sex. They slightly numb the penis and allow men to last longer.

Some medicines that you can order from MedsNow include:

1. Priligy Tablets (Dapoxetine)

2. EMLA cream 30g tube

3. Stud 100
