Premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual problems in men. It is characterized by the inability to control ejaculation, which occurs before or shortly after penetration.
This can lead to frustration and affect the relationship with your partner. At Andrologia Málaga, our expert urologists and sexologists offer a clear diagnosis and personalized treatments to help you improve your sex life and regain confidence.

What is premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is a common condition that affects men of all ages and is characterized by the inability to control ejaculation, which occurs very quickly after sexual arousal. This can lead to emotional distress, low self-esteem, and reduced confidence in intimate relationships. Many individuals facing this issue may begin to avoid sexual encounters, which can cause frustration and impact their relationship.

Main Causes of premature ejaculation

At Andrology Málaga, we approach premature ejaculation from a comprehensive perspective, identifying both organic and psychological causes that may be influencing this condition.

Physical or Organic Causes

Organic causes account for approximately 20% of cases. These may include:

Nervous system problems: Some people have difficulty noticing when they are highly aroused and close to orgasm. Additionally, an overactive nervous system can cause ejaculation to happen faster than normal. Imbalances in brain chemicals such as serotonin and high levels of oxytocin can also play a role.
Infections or inflammations: Conditions like prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) or urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) can cause discomfort that affects ejaculation control.
Neurological diseases: Certain diseases affecting the brain or nerves, such as epilepsy, and in very rare cases, brain tumors, can influence the timing of ejaculation.

Psychological causes are the most common, affecting about 80% of cases, with performance anxiety being the predominant factor. These causes are divided into precipitating, predisposing, and maintaining factors:

Causas psicológicas

Psychological causes are common and can affect control over ejaculation. Among the most frequent are:

Anxiety and stress: Excessive worry about sexual performance or external factors can create tension, making it difficult to maintain proper control during sexual activity. Anxiety can speed up the sexual response and lead to rapid ejaculation.
Emotional issues: Situations such as low self-esteem, insecurity, feelings of guilt, or traumatic sexual experiences can affect confidence and emotional well-being, influencing the timing of ejaculation.
Conflictive partner relationships: Difficulties in communication or the relationship can increase tension during sex, reducing the ability to relax and enjoy, thus promoting premature ejaculation.
Learned patterns: Some individuals may have developed sexual habits where speed was necessary due to external reasons (e.g., fear of being discovered, lack of privacy), and these patterns continue unconsciously.

At Andrologia Málaga, our specialists carefully assess these psychological causes and offer personalized treatment that may include sexual or psychological therapy to help overcome these factors, thereby improving sexual and emotional quality of life.

Treatments for premature ejaculation

At Andrologia Málaga, we offer a comprehensive and personalized approach to treating premature ejaculation, tailored to each patient’s needs. Among the most effective treatment options are:

Oral medications: There are pills that help delay ejaculation, improving control during sexual intercourse. These medications are safe and are often combined with other therapies to optimize results.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy: This technique helps identify and modify thoughts or behaviors that may be contributing to the problem. It is very useful for managing anxiety and improving control over the sexual response.
Sex therapy: Conducted by specialists, this therapy addresses emotional and relationship aspects, enhancing communication, confidence, and sexual satisfaction.
Combined therapies: In many cases, combining medical treatments with psychological or sexual therapies offers the best results by addressing the problem from different angles.
