Premature Ejaculation

View all Treatments

Premature ejaculation is a common sexual problem that affects 30% of men. It occurs when a man reaches orgasm only shortly after beginning sexual activity. However, scientific research defines premature ejaculation as a condition wherein men achieve orgasm in about 120 seconds (2 minutes). In both instances, a climax is reached before both partners enjoy satisfactory sex. Although premature ejaculation is a physical condition, it can also cause psychological side effects and in some cases can lead to long term penile damage.

What causes premature ejaculation?

For most men, premature ejaculation is caused by 2 factors: excitement or anxiety. It is not uncommon for a young, inexperienced man to have trouble controlling his erection during sexual activity. Nerves bring on this involuntary action, but practice can help the sufferer overcome it. Climaxing quickly may begin at a young age and then become an unconscious, physically ingrained habit that persists throughout their sex life.

If premature ejaculation persists during your adult years, it could be due to anxiety. But any number of factors can cause anxiety during sex, including stress at work or in other areas of your life, and the fear that you may not be capable of pleasing your partner. In these instances the sufferer should seek counselling or therapy before considering drug treatment.

Premature ejaculation can also be caused by physical disorders including extreme sensitivity in the penis, injury to the nerves, multiple sclerosis and other neurological problems. Prescription treatments can be taken to treat these types of problems and improve the overall sex life of the user.

How can premature ejaculation be treated?

It is easier for you to choose the appropriate treatment for premature ejaculation if you are fully aware of the root cause. Before requesting a prescription for a drug treatment you can try various delaying techniques during masturbation such as the ‘stop and start’ method and the ‘squeeze’ method. But unlike temporary factors, more serious psychological factors or physical disorders may require you to take a prescription drug treatment.

The recommended prescription drug treatment at Meds4all is Priligy. Our doctors will require information from your medical history in an online consultation to assess the suitability of Priligy for your condition. Once you have completed the online consultation, you will know if the prescription request has been successful.

It is recommended that you only use a prescription drug treatment for premature ejaculation when all other methods fail to work. You may also wish to consult your doctor or physician before you begin a course of Priligy to ensure that this is the most suitable course of treatment.
