By Dr. Vaibhav Dubey – Psychiatrist in Bhopal

Premature ejaculation (PE), or early ejaculation, happens when a man ejaculates too quickly during sexual activity—usually within one minute of penetration. It can cause emotional stress, affect confidence, and lead to relationship problems. Though common, many men hesitate to talk about it.

Dr. Vaibhav Dubey, a trusted psychiatrist in Bhopal, explains that PE is a medical condition and not something to feel ashamed of. It can affect men of all ages and can be either:

• Lifelong (since first sexual experience)
• Acquired (develops after a period of normal sexual function)

If the problem happens in 75% or more of your sexual experiences and continues for at least 6 months, it may need medical attention. It’s not caused by other mental illnesses, relationship stress, or side effects of medicines.

Causes of Premature Ejaculation:

• Anxiety or overthinking during intimacy
• Lack of experience or confidence
• Hormonal imbalance
• Sensitivity or inflammation
• Relationship issues
