premature ejaculation Introduction​

There is no specific test for PE. Your doctor will likely discuss your symptoms, sexual history, and any underlying medical conditions to determine the best course of action.

Various treatment options are available, and the best approach depends on the individual's needs and cause of PE:

• Behavioral therapy: Techniques like the "stop-start" and squeeze technique can help you gain control over your ejaculatory reflex.
• Counseling: Addressing underlying psychological factors like anxiety or depression can improve sexual experience.
• Medication: In some cases, your doctor may prescribe antidepressants or topical anesthetics to help manage PE.
• Lifestyle changes: Reducing stress, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and quitting smoking can also improve symptoms.

 PE itself does not usually affect fertility. However, in some rare cases, where ejaculation consistently occurs before penetration, it might impact conception chances.

While there's no guaranteed way to prevent PE, some lifestyle practices can help reduce the risk:

• Manage stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga.
• Communicate openly with your partner about your concerns and preferences.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle: get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and avoid excessive alcohol and drugs.
• Seek professional help if you struggle with stress, anxiety, or relationship issues
