Premature ejaculation doesn’t always have one clear cause. In most cases, it’s a combination of factors. The condition is more common among younger men with less experience. As they get older, many men learn how to delay ejaculation. Sometimes, premature ejaculation only occurs with new partners or only in certain sexual situations. Anxiety, guilt, depression, and performance anxiety can also cause premature ejaculation in some men.
There are physical reasons for premature ejaculation, including hormonal problems, injury, or certain medications. Thyroid disorders, prostate infections, urethra infections, nervous system damage, or brain chemistry imbalance can cause some cases of premature ejaculation.
Regardless of the cause, you don’t have to continue to suffer from premature ejaculation. Many men benefit from a combination of treatments that work together to improve sexual stamina. If you have been suffering from premature ejaculation, make an appointment with your doctor to determine the cause and discuss treatment options.
