Delayed ejaculation is a rare sexual dysfunction involving 2-4% in males. It is divided into primary, i.e. the man always experiences the problem, and secondary or acquired, i.e. the man shows it during his life.
The main causes they are psychogenic causes, infections such as urethritis and tuberculosis, neurogenic causes such as diabetic neuropathy and spinal injuries, endocrine causes such as hypogonadism and hypothyroidism, and drugs such as antidepressants, diuretics, and alcohol abuse.
THE diagnosis includes a complete personal and sexual history. The sexual history is a basic "tool" for the specialist andrologist because it can reveal distorted perceptions about sex, the existence or not of orgasms with masturbation, masturbatory practices that cannot be applied during sexual intercourse with a partner.
THE treatment of delayed ejaculation depends on its cause. When the cause is psychogenic, the contribution of psychosexual counselors and psychologists specialized in sexuality plays a decisive role in the treatment. Behavioral treatments and sex education treatments seem, according to international studies, to bring very good results in the treatment and treatment of this dysfunction.
The man who experiences delayed ejaculation is anxious about it every time and has associated sexual intercourse with negative emotions. Appropriate treatments exist as long as one seeks specialized medical knowledge.
