Causes of Premature Ejaculation

First riddle we need to solve is what is causing premature ejaculation and why its happening in some men. Many clinical studies have been conducted to find our root causes for PE.  There are multiple factors identified which contributes to PE, they range from physical health, mental health and some unknown causes.

Sexual health including erectile dysfunction and PE,  is one of the most common disease where there are multiple unproven theories based on personal opinions. More often these theories are not scientifically proven or have no clinical base. Some common theories are, excessive masturbation can lead to PE, or if you don't have sex for long time can lead to PE. There is no scientific proof for any of these theories.

Let's look at some of the scientifically proven causes of PE. PE causes are mainly divided into two categories 1)Physical Causes and 2) Psychological causes

Physical Causes

  • Hormonal Imbalance:  If you have elevated levels of hormones like TSH (Thyroid hormone), Prolactin or LSH then it is associated with PE. 
  • Serotonin:  Neurotransmitter serotonin is directly associated with ejaculation time. Low level of serotonin leads to prompt ejaculation.
  • Infection:  Prostate is very important organ when it comes to sexual health. Infection or inflammation of prostate leads to premature ejaculation. 
  • Hypersensitivity: Oversensitivity of glans penis also plays major role in premature ejaculation. Hypersensitivity may reduce time to reach to ograsm.

Psychological Causes

Psychological status and mental health has very important role in premature ejaculation. Some of the common psychological conditions which are linked to premature ejaculations are listed below:

  • Relationship issues
  • High stress level
  • Anxiety/Panic disorder
  • History of sexual abuse in past
  • low self confidence
