Premature Ejaculation: Does It Actually Have A Cure?

Is Premature Ejaculation Treatable?

It is important for both the partners to understand that premature ejaculation is a multi factorial condition and come to terms with the fact that it exists as it requires cooperation, support, and patience from the spouse or partner. The person suffering from PE has to realise that it is a common problem and not treat it as a taboo. Below are a few activities that can help individuals to manage PE. 

• Ruling Out Stress: A doctor would also ask you whether the problem was ever existent or began after a certain time in your sex life. It is to determine whether or not the possible cause is stress or anxiety as it is one of the most common factors when it comes to PE.
• 'Stop-Start' Or 'Squeeze' Techniques: It is a technique that teaches to control ejaculation. You bring yourself on the verge of climate and then hold the tip of your penis until the sensation subsides.  
• Kegels: The muscles that control the flow of urine are called pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles also support organs like the bladder, bowel and the penis. Kegels are exercises that strengthen these pelvic floor muscles. 
• Couple’s Exercises: The couple can also be taught relaxation techniques together. They can gradually guide to attempt sexual activity, starting with the lateral position, followed by the woman-on-top position, and eventually moving to the conventional position. This process involves systematic desensitisation to reduce hypersensitivity to female genital touch.
• Couple’s Therapy: Marital counselling is also an important component of overall therapy, helping to address emotional dynamics and improve communication between partners. 
• Medicine: There are also certain medicines which can help delay ejaculation by a process called priapism.
