De can be caused by physical issues, psychological issues, or both. Physical causes of delayed ejaculation: many conditions can contribute to de: spinal cord injury bladder and prostate surgery certain substances: anti-depressants, blood pressure treatment such as beta blockers, antipsychotic drugs, muscle relaxants, strong painkillers, recreational drugs, steroids and alcohol. Ageing can also have a part to play. The penis may lose some of its sensitivity with age and testosterone levels decrease in older men, slowing the arousal process. Equally, a female partner’s vagina may become more slack with age, providing less sensation during penetrative sex. Pelvic floor exercises are a good way for women to maintain condition in the muscles around the vagina.

Psychosexual factors are suspected to be the main cause of delayed ejaculation when no organic cause has been identified. Psychotherapeutic treatments are patient-centred and include: cognitive behavioural therapy and sex education; masturbatory retraining and adjustment of sexual fantasies; psychotherapy targeting the areas of conflict and sensate focus exercises; altering one’s orientation from oneself to one’s partner; sexual anxiety reduction by teaching individual mindfulness and breathing techniques, progressive relaxation, and increasing sensory tolerance; couples’ sex therapy and the use of interactional techniques; the sexual tipping point model, which emphasizes the utility of a biopsychosocial- cultural perspective combined with special attention to the patient’s narrative.

How can I prevent delayed ejaculation?

While premature and delayed ejaculation problems are common, retrograde ejaculation is rare. It is a medical condition wherein the semen moves backwards to the bladder rather than forwards through the urethra. The neck of the bladder should ideally close up at the moment of orgasm, but muscle or nerve damage can prevent this. This leads to retrograde ejaculation. The primary symptom is the cloudy urine released after sexual intercourse. The condition does not impede the male’s ability to enjoy sexual intercourse. It also has no ill effect on the health of the male, but it does render the male infertile.

When should I see my healthcare provider about delayed ejaculation?

Doctors noticed that men and women on antidepressants have delayed orgasms. Drugs such as fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, clomipramine and tramadol affect serotonin levels. Some doctors use these drugs "off-label" (for a different reason than the drug's original use) to treat pe. If one drug does not work, your doctor may suggest you try a different drug. For others, α1-adrenoceptor antagonists are another option for drug therapy. These drugs may induce ejaculatory dysfunction such as retrograde ejaculation and/or failure of emission. Drugs for pe can be taken each day or only before sex. Your health care provider will suggest when you should take a drug based on your activity level.

Currently, there aren’t any fda-approved medications for treating delayed ejaculation. However, several medications may be used off-label by a urologist or health care provider with experience in urology to treat delayed ejaculation symptoms. These vary in effectiveness and may cause side effects. Medications for delayed ejaculation include : it’s worth nothing that these are just a few of the common medications sometimes associated with the treatment of delayed ejaculation, but the list is actually pretty extensive. It’s also worth noting that not all of these medications have proven effective in testing and many are associated with significant side effects. If your delayed ejaculation is caused by an existing medication, your healthcare provider may recommend switching medications or reducing your dosage.

A physical exam and medical history might be all that are needed to recommend treatment for delayed ejaculation. However, if delayed ejaculation appears to be caused by an underlying problem that might need treatment, you might need further tests or you might need to see a specialist. Tests for underlying problems can include:

delayed ejaculation is the inability to ejaculate at will, so that ejaculation takes much longer than desired or does not happen at all. Some men find that they can only reach orgasm (come) and ejaculate after long periods of stimulation, even though they have the normal desire and a normal erection. This may happen only with sexual intercourse with a partner or may occur at all times, including with masturbation. This may or may not cause relationship problems or embarrassment. You may have delayed ejaculation if: you cannot ejaculate when you want to and experience an unwanted delay of 30 to 60 minutes.

It's normal to have delayed ejaculation (de) from time to time, just like it's normal to have erectile dysfunction during your lifetime. De is only a problem when it goes on for a long time or causes stress for you or your partner. Though what's “normal” in sexual behavior ranges, most men climax within a few minutes during intercourse. Men with de often need 30 minutes or more of sexual stimulation to have an orgasm. Some can only come when masturbating.

Ejaculatory dysfunction occurs when a man has a problem properly ejaculating his semen, either ejaculating too soon, too late, back into his own bladder or not at all. These situations can result in poor sexual satisfaction by the man and his partner, ineffective reproduction and emotional trauma. Ejaculation disorders, also called aspermia, can be caused by a problem at birth (primary) or by acquired dysfunctions (secondary) after birth (often much later in life), such as disease, injury and adverse drug reactions. The four types of ejaculation dysfunction are premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation and anejaculation. Normal ejaculation involves an emission step, when semen is positioned in the penis near the prostate, and an ejaculation step, when the semen is forcefully expulsed from the penis.
