I have Premature ejaculation problem - #11598

ayush

Doctor, I am 23 years old, in good health, and have no medical conditions or allergies. My concern is that I am experiencing premature ejaculation. Almost every time I have sex, I ejaculate in less than 30 seconds after penetration, sometimes even before I can properly begin. This issue has been present for several months and is causing frustration, anxiety, and a lack of satisfaction in my sexual life. I do not have erectile dysfunction — I can achieve and maintain an erection — but I am unable to control ejaculation. I have tried to improve my lifestyle, diet, and even experimented with some natural supplements, but there has been little improvement. I would like to understand the root cause of my problem, whether it is due to oversensitivity, psychological factors like performance anxiety, or possible hormonal or neurological issues. My main concern is whether this condition can be reversed or effectively managed. I would like to know about all possible treatment options, from behavioral techniques and natural remedies to safe medical therapies. Please guide me with the best approach so I can regain control, confidence, and satisfaction in my intimate life. Even I never smoke or drink and I doesn't have any stress or tention in my life

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Your condition is common and reversible. Start with behavioral techniques + topical spray, continue lifestyle measures. If insufficient, safe medications (SSRIs or dapoxetine) under medical supervision work very well. Confidence will return gradually.

This requires proper counselling for treatment. Need to have proper conversation.

I am currently practicing in the field of internal medicine and my path has been shaped by steady steps across different hospitals. From 1-1-2023 to 1-1-2024 I worked as a senior resident at SGRD Medical College Amritsar, where my role was deeply focused on patient care and learning the art of managing complex cases under tight schedules. That year trained me to handle emergencies, refine my diagnostic reasoning and stay patient even when things move fast and stressful. Later, from 14-2-2024 to 8-3-2025, I served as a consultant in internal medicine at Gurdev Hospital, Noor our Bedi. Here my responsibilities grew heavier—leading rounds, deciding on treatment plans, helping patients and their families understand their illness, and coordinating with surgeons and specialists. That period gave me confidence not just in medicine but in communication, because often families need as much guidance as the patient themselves. Since 15-3-2025, I have been working as consultant at Hope Hospital Nawanshahr. My focus here is broad: respiratory infections, cardiac complaints, gastrointestinal and liver issues, metabolic disorders, chronic diseases like diabetes or hypertension, and preventive health care. I try to combine evidence based treatment with a very patient centered approach—explaining the diagnosis clearly, discussing lifestyle, and planning long term management instead of only short fixes. For me, medicine is not just prescription writing, it’s about building trust. Some days the challenges feel overwhelming, other days small, but each patient I meet teaches me something new. I aim to continue refining my skills, growing with the science, and staying available to those who come seeking help for their health.

I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

1.Premature ejaculation is one of the most common concerns in young men. It happens due to oversensitivity of penile nerves in some men, psychological factors like performance anxiety, or rarely hormonal and neurological causes.

2.The good news is that this condition is treatable and most men improve with a structured approach. Since you do not have erectile dysfunction or lifestyle risk factors, the issue is mainly with ejaculatory control.

3.First line treatment involves behavioral techniques such as the stop start method and the squeeze technique. These train your body to delay ejaculation over time. Practicing regularly with or without a partner helps.

4.Pelvic floor strengthening exercises, regular physical activity, and mindfulness or relaxation techniques further improve stamina and control.

5.Medical options include local numbing gels or sprays applied before intercourse, and certain oral medicines like low dose antidepressants that are prescribed by a doctor specifically for this problem.

6.Since your issue has been persistent and is affecting your confidence, I recommend consulting a urologist or sexologist. With proper guidance, premature ejaculation can be reversed or effectively managed, helping you regain control and satisfaction in your intimate life.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

Hello Ayush,

I understand that this is worrisome.

Here’s you should understand, that you mostly don’t have any hormonal or neurological issues. The great news is that you are able to hold your erection.

With some behavioural techniques and medications, we can overcome this problem. I would like to know more about your dietary habits, lifestyle.

This is probably happening due to performance anxiety and over stimulation.

My advise -

1. Try edging. Edging is pulling yourself back when you feel you are going to ejaculate if you don’t stop. But also keep your partner’s pleasure in mind as well. This will increase your time gradually. It’s okay if you’re not able to edge everytime, just try your max.

2. Have a balanced, protein and fiber rich diet.

3. Regular exercise, Kegel exercise helps a lot.

4. Take Cap. Fluoxetine 20 mg, after breakfast daily for 10 days, and follow up with me after 10 days. This medication should be taken for a duration. There’s no medicine in the world which doesn’t have any side effects, but this medicine has very rare chances of producing side effects, so be assured.

You’ll be fine ultimately.

Regards,

Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med

I am a doctor with 5 years total experience, mostly split between Emergency and Obstetrics & Gynaecology—and honestly both keep you on your toes in totally different ways. In the ER, you don’t get time to second-guess much. Things come at you fast—trauma, active bleeding, breathlessness, collapsed vitals—and you learn to think, act, then think again. But in Obs/Gyn, it’s more layered. One moment you’re handling routine antenatal care, the next you're managing obstructed labour at 3am with everything depending on timing. I try not to treat anyone like "just another case." I take proper history—like actual, detailed listening—and then move step by step. Exam, investigations only if needed (not just because), and explaining things clearly to the patient and attenders. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do repeat myself twice or thrice. People are stressed, they don’t hear it all the first time. Communication I’d say is one of my stronger areas, but not in some fancy textbook way. Just knowing *how* to talk, when to pause, when not to overload info. Like with a first-time mother in pain who doesn’t care about medical terms—she just wants to know if her baby’s okay. Those moments taught me more about medicine than most of my exams. I handle postpartum issues, early pregnancy complications, PCOD, menstrual complaints, emergency contraception consults too—bit of everything. And in casualty shifts, I’ve done everything from inserting Ryle’s tubes to managing hypertensive crises. You have to stay sharp. But also know when to slow down and re-evalutate something that doesn’t fit right. Counselling’s part of the job too. Sometimes patients need reassurance more than a prescription. Sometimes they just need honesty, even if the answer isn't simple. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do care enough to find them. Bit by bit. Every single day.

Hello Friend, The problem of timing is a normal problem. No need to be worried. Most importantly, discuss the situation with your partner.

Try these approaches for better timing: 1. Use a LUBRICANT with anesthesia property 2. Use a lubricated lidocaine CONDOM 3. Do roleplay before penetration, don’t rush for it. 4. Keep your mind calm and relaxed. 5. Exercise daily 6. Maintain healthy diet 7. Start a MULTIVITAMIN daily

Take care

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Premature ejaculation is usually treatable and can improve with behavioral techniques like the start–stop method, Kegel exercises, and reducing penile sensitivity using topical sprays or gels. If lifestyle changes don’t help, medicines such as SSRIs or on-demand therapy can be very effective under medical supervision. I recommend consulting a urologist or sexologist to evaluate hormonal, neurological, or psychological factors and guide you on safe, personalized treatment.

Premature ejaculation is indeed a very common issue, and it’s great you’re seeking advice on how to address it. Since you’ve ruled out factors like stress, smoking, or drinking, let’s delve into potential causes and solutions. Premature ejaculation can sometimes be linked to biological or psychological factors. It might be due to hypersensitivity of the penis or some kind of neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain. Psychological factors like anxiety, even if not felt in other areas of your life, can also play a significant role when one is predisposed to this condition. Understanding these could provide clearer paths to treatment. Behavioral techniques can be quite effective. Methods such as the “Stop-Start Technique” or the “Squeeze Technique” are designed to help you gain better ejaculatory control. These involve stimulating the penis to the point right before ejaculation and then pausing or applying light pressure to the shaft, respectively, to reduce arousal levels. Practicing these regularly can expand the time frame. On the medical front, topical anesthetic creams can reduce sensation and thus delay ejaculation but be sure to consult a healthcare professional about these as incorrect use can cause unwanted side effects. Another option could be selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), traditionally used as antidepressants but have shown effectiveness in delaying ejaculation when taken regularly or just some hours prior to intercourse. Again, discussing their suitability and dosage with a doctor is essential. Notably, pelvic floor exercises may also firm up lasting strength and control, essentially known as Kegel exercises. These exercises are simple and can be done discretely throughout the day. In pursuing herbal supplements, the benefits are often inconsistent and mostly anecdotal, so proceed with caution here. It’s heartening to know that many men are able to find a manageable solution or a significant reduction in their symptoms, sometimes needing a mishmash of the methods above. Lastly, visiting a urologist can be prudent if there’s a need to rule out any underlined issues or get started on some of the prescription treatments. So, considering speaking to a healthcare provider sure to create a well-guided path forward catered specifically towards your condition and overall expectations. Don’t hesitate to reach out for professional assistance; it’s an important step towards reclaiming control and satisfaction.
