Premature Ejaculation Treatment in Atlanta

Symptoms Of
Premature Ejaculation

How Advanced Can Help You

Many men are confronted with issues around sexual performance or sexual dysfunction, and premature ejaculation may affect up to one in three men according to the Mayo Clinic's research. Most experts agree that ejaculation that occurs within one minute of sexual penetration is considered premature. This is accompanied by an inability to control one's climax and feelings of frustration or disappointment with one's sexual performance.

Even though this is a common problem, men still shy away from talking about the condition. Nevertheless, tremendous strides have been made to treat it more effectively. These efforts have opened the door for men who would have had to forgo this part of their lives to experience life like their unaffected peers.

Depending on the causes associated with PE, your doctor may recommend one or more types of treatment to address the problem. There are behavioral psychology options as well as medications and techniques that all may be used to improve sexual stamina and help overcome PE. These include:

Counseling - A therapist may make recommendations about communication with your partner as well as helping with strategies to overcome performance anxiety or directing your attention
Pelvic floor exercises - These kegel exercises can be done while sitting and can help to control the onset of orgasm with time

Pause Squeeze Technique - During sex, it can be helpful to stop during penetration and gently squeeze the glans (head) of the penis for several seconds in order to control the urge toward premature ejaculation.
Topical anesthetics and condoms - There are certain products available that help reduce sensitivity in the penis which can prolong the duration of intercourse.
Medications - SSRIs- in men, SSRIs may delay orgasm during sexual activity. Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors- these drugs like Sildenafil (Viagra) may help aid in male performance and improve sexual stamina.

How Is Premature Ejaculation Diagnosed?

Medical History & Symptom Evaluation

The first step in diagnosing PE is a thorough discussion of symptoms and medical history. The urologist will ask about the duration and frequency of ejaculation, whether PE has been a lifelong condition (primary PE) or developed later (secondary PE), and whether it occurs in all sexual encounters or just certain situations. They will also assess factors such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or past sexual trauma that could contribute to early ejaculation. Additionally, the doctor may inquire about other sexual health concerns, such as erectile dysfunction (ED), as these conditions can sometimes be linked.

Physical Examination

A physical examination may be conducted to check for penile sensitivity, nerve function, or genital abnormalities that could be contributing to PE. The doctor will examine the penis, testicles, and prostate to identify any structural issues, inflammation, or infections. In some cases, an overactive or hypersensitive nervous system may be responsible for premature ejaculation, and a physical exam can help rule out conditions like prostatitis (prostate inflammation) or penile hypersensitivity that may require medical treatment.

Psychological & Relationship Assessment

Because psychological factors play a significant role in many cases of PE, the doctor may evaluate mental health, stress levels, and relationship dynamics. They may ask about performance anxiety, depression, past trauma, or relationship stress to determine if these factors are affecting sexual performance. Since anxiety can trigger a heightened response in the nervous system, addressing psychological concerns through therapy or counseling may be recommended as part of the treatment plan.

Laboratory Tests (If Needed)

If a hormonal imbalance or underlying medical condition is suspected, the doctor may order blood tests to check testosterone levels, thyroid function, and other hormone levels. In some cases, a urine test may be conducted to rule out infections that could be contributing to sexual dysfunction. While lab tests are not always necessary, they can help identify hormonal deficiencies or underlying health issues, such as diabetes or thyroid disorders, that may be playing a role in premature ejaculation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Premature Ejaculation

Q Is Premature Ejaculation a Permanent Condition?

No, premature ejaculation is not necessarily permanent, and many men experience it at some point in their lives. While some men may have lifelong (primary) PE, others develop it later (secondary PE) due to stress, medical conditions, or changes in sexual activity. Treatment options such as behavioral techniques, therapy, medications, and lifestyle adjustments can help improve ejaculation control.

Q Can Premature Ejaculation Be Prevented?

While not all cases of premature ejaculation can be prevented, certain lifestyle and behavioral changes can reduce the likelihood of experiencing it. Practicing relaxation techniques, strengthening pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises, maintaining a healthy diet, and improving communication with a partner can all help. Additionally, avoiding excessive stimulation, watching pornography excessively, or rushing sexual activity can lead to better control.

Q How Do I Know If I Have Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation (PE) is typically diagnosed when a man consistently ejaculates within one minute of penetration or before he or his partner desires, causing distress or frustration. Occasional early ejaculation is normal, but if it happens regularly and affects sexual satisfaction, it may be a sign of PE.

Q Does Premature Ejaculation Affect Fertility?

Premature ejaculation does not directly cause infertility, as sperm is still present in the ejaculate. However, if ejaculation occurs before penetration or too early in the process, it may make conception more difficult. In cases where a couple is trying to conceive, and PE is preventing successful intercourse, fertility treatments or medical interventions can help improve the chances of pregnancy. If fertility is a concern, consulting a doctor can help explore potential solutions.
