Premature ejaculation is the inability to delay ejaculation during sexual intercourse, occurring sooner or later after penetration (<1>


Premature ejaculation has no direct cause and is usually the result of a combination of various factors, namely anxiety and stress, emotional problems, obesity, poor general health, prostate inflammation, thyroid changes, or genetic predisposition. It may be primary, occurring from the onset of sexual or secondary life, occurring again, usually triggered by an identifiable factor.


Treatment may include behavioral therapy, topical medications, or oral medication.)
