Premature Ejaculation” Prevalent but Poorly understood- Part 4

When to seek medical advice

The major problem with premature ejaculation and treatment is that many males never seek treatment or see a doctor. For whatever reason, the treatment and diagnosis of premature ejaculation is always delayed. Treatment is much easier in the early stages of the disorder and pretty complex when a male presents at much older age.

Screening and diagnosis

The diagnosis of premature ejaculation is based on the individual’s history. The history and the initial interview are the most difficult part of the entire process as intimate sexual details are obtained. However, frank details about the problem, can lead to the most effective treatment. In order to diagnose the cause, sexually intimate questions may involve your:

• religious upbringing
• early sexual experiences
• past and present sexual relationships
• when premature ejaculation started
• conflicts or concerns within your current relationship
• feelings of guilt, anxiety as related to performance
• use of medications
• illicit drug use

Complications

Premature ejaculation is not a life threatening disorder. However, the disorder can have severe repercussions in one‘s personal life and relationship. Sometimes, premature ejaculation can make conceiving difficult if one continues to spurt sperm on the bed or the floor instead of the vagina.
