Symptoms and Diagnosis of Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is characterized by early ejaculation with an inability to delay the process.
Symptoms of premature ejaculation include:
- Ejaculation during sex usually occurs before or within one minute of vaginal penetration. It could be of recent onset or present since the beginning. The symptoms are present for at least 6 months
- The male is unable to delay ejaculations

- Psychological problems may follow like frustration, lack of enjoyment from sex, which could further lead to depression and lack of self-esteem
- The woman may be unable to get pregnant because of the premature ejaculation
Diagnosis is based on the history from the patient. The past sexual relationships should be inquired into in the history. The patient should also be evaluated through physical and psychological examination to rule out any underlying cause.
Measurement of hormones like testosterone can be used to rule out hormonal problems.
In some cases, the female partner may take too long to achieve an orgasm, and the problem may not be in the male. This fact should be taken into consideration while diagnosing premature ejaculation.
The issue of Premature Ejaculation is basically popular among males which enable it to happen for several different aspects. However, no matter what the cause, it is extremely upsetting for the men as well as commonly depressing for both partners. There have been a number of different researches of the problem through the years, and while some time ago it was regarded as a purely psychological problem, health professionals now believe that it is a mixture of both psychological and biological factors.
