Premature ejaculation being one of the categories covered in this course is discussed as follows;

Introduction

Premature ejaculation occurs when a person ejaculates faster than expected. This means they ejaculate faster than their partners thus leading to dissatisfaction of the partner who had not reached the climax. The approximate amount of time when a man suffering from this condition ejaculates is within one minute of sexual intercourse. This is a male condition and it is prevalent among men who are between the ages of 14 years to 30 years.

Symptomology

The symptoms associated with this condition are the inability to control when to ejaculate, psychological difficulties and performance anxiety.

Aetiology

The causative factors of this condition are mainly psychological even though there are other factors leading to this. There are two types of pre-mature ejaculation. Life-long condition and acquired premature ejaculation. Life-long pre-mature ejaculation occurs for the rest of a person s life while acquired pre-mature ejaculation may be treated. This condition is caused by relationship problems as well as anxiety issues which come as a result of the fear that they may not satisfy their partners due to an ejaculation which may come faster than expected.

Life-long premature ejaculation can be caused by masturbation when a person is in his youthful days, experiences which are traumatic like incest or sexual assault. This condition can also be caused by poor body image. Apart from these factors there are also biological causes to premature ejaculation and they include; extreme imbalance in the body hormones, erectile dysfunction, stress, inheritance, abnormal neuro-transmitter levels and infection in the urethra and prostrate.

Treatment

Premature ejaculation can be treated by psychological intervention whereby the person who suffers from it is counselled and he is taken through processes on how to overcome this situation. There is also medication whereby Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors is used to treat depression initiated premature ejaculation.

This type of condition is sometimes difficult because the person suffering from it may be unwilling to disclose due to shame related issue and therefore it becomes difficult to manage and help the patient.

Conclusion

The categories discussed herein as well as in the whole course are very essential and they help a person to be able to attend to some issues which need basic knowledge and to know the cause of action for the others which need specialised medication.
