About this disease
What it is about
Premature ejaculation is the most common sexual dysfunction. In this case, ejaculation inevitably occurs within one to two minutes during sexual intercourse. Like ejaculation disorders, orgasm disorders can be multifactorial. Usually, the delayed orgasm and the lack of ability to reach orgasm are in the foreground.
Types
A distinction is made between lifelong or primary ejaculatory dysfunction and acquired or secondary ejaculatory dysfunction. Among the possible causes are medications, drugs, inflammations and hormonal disorders. In addition, it is now known that a malfunction of the serotonin receptors can trigger the problem. Often, however, no organic disorders can be determined, so that the involvement of psychosomatic factors must be considered.
Symptoms and consequences
Symptoms include premature ejaculation, delayed orgasm, or the inability to achieve orgasm.
