Delayed ejaculation

Delayed ejaculation is a medical condition in which a man cannot ejaculate, either during sexual intercourse or by manual stimulation with a partner. This condition can be either lifelong or acquired, and either global or situational. It can cause distress and problems in relationships.

Causes

Delayed ejaculation can be caused by psychological issues, medical problems, or medication side effects. Psychological causes can include depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. Medical causes can include diabetes, neurological disease, and hormonal disorders. Medications that can cause delayed ejaculation include antidepressants, antipsychotics, and high blood pressure medications.

Symptoms

The main symptom of delayed ejaculation is the inability to ejaculate or very delayed ejaculations despite having a sexual desire and sexual stimulation. This can occur in all sexual situations, including masturbation.

Diagnosis

Delayed ejaculation is diagnosed through a medical examination and a detailed discussion of sexual history. A physical examination and laboratory tests may be needed to rule out medical causes.

Treatment

Treatment for delayed ejaculation depends on the underlying cause. It may include psychotherapy, medication changes, or treating any underlying medical conditions.
