It's a common male problem and has afflicted many men over the years - Premature Ejaculation. The medical community have yet to establish an exact cause of this problem. It used to be the case that experts believed premature ejaculation was the result of deep rooted psychological problems in the back of a mans mind that had an affect on their love making. This idea had been widely discredited and replaced by the belief that both biological and psychological factors play a part. The medical profession has been so far unable to pinpoint exact causes when dealing with an individual case. The result is that treatments for the problem have tended to adopt a scattergun approach to focus on both psychological and biological factors. Added to that there is the belief that erectile dysfunction plays a part in many mens problems. But there's good news as well -- today, no man has to suffer from premature ejaculation. Quite a handful of successful treatments have been developed to address this malady. They include a host of medications, psychological counseling and sexual techniques and exercises that can delay or provide greater control over one's orgasm. For most men, combining two or more of these treatments is their best bet. What follows is an explanation of the tell tale signs, symptoms, causes and risks that all cause the condition. This can be used to assess your own problems - either current or potential. Signs and symptoms There is no hard and fast rule as to how long it should take for a man to reach orgasm, therefore we don't really know what is normal. Experts tend to agree that the definition of premature ejaculation is when a man reaches the point of ejaculation before he wants to, in most of his experiences. This may be either during masturbation or any other sexual encounter, though it may only be limited to experiences with other persons. Two types of premature ejaculation have been identified by experts: 1.Primary Premature Ejaculation -- If you have been suffering from premature ejaculation ever since you have been sexually active. 2.Secondary Premature Ejaculation -- If you have been suffering from premature ejaculation only after you enjoyed previously satisfying sexual encounters without such problems. Causes Experts have not ruled out psychological causes as the sole reason but they have not reached the point where they can pinpoint specific causes in individual cases. However, there have been great strides made in treating the biological and psychological factors that cause the problem. There are four basic psychological causes that can cause premature ejaculation. These are: 1. Instances where climax has been rushed due to the fear of being caught in the act. 2. Strong feelings of guilt that make a man rush through his sexual encounters. 3. Men who suffer from erectile dysfunction and are concerned about maintaining their erection through their sexual experience. This may result in establishing a pattern where the man rushes to climax while he still has an erection. 4. Men who suffer with anxiety, especially with regard to sexual performance or other matters. In addition, there are also six basic biological causes that can lead to premature ejaculation. These are: 1.Hormone that is not normal 2.Abnormal levels of neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) 3.Abnormal reflex activity of the ejaculatory system 4.Some thyroid problems 5.Infection and inflammation of the prostate or urethra 6.Inherited traits or conditions Some doctors have the belief that suffering lifelong Primary Premature Ejaculation is usually a result of biological causes. Also, some additional rare causes of premature ejaculation can include the following: 1.Damaged nervous system resulting from trauma or surgery 2.Withdrawal from certain drugs such as narcotics or trifluoperazine ( a treatment for anxiety and other mental disorders). Risk Factors Finally, the risk of premature ejaculation can be increased due to some factors. These include: 1.Impotence -- Having problems getting or maintaining an erection often leads to premature ejaculation. By some estimates, one of three men suffering from premature ejaculation also have impotence problems. 2.Health problems -- Medical conditions that make men feel anxious about sex, such as heart disorders, often compel men to rush through sex. 3.Stress -- Feeling stressed about other areas of your life can limit your ability to relax and lead to premature ejaculation. 4.Medications -- There are some drugs that can naturally cause premature ejaculation.
