When to consult a doctor for premature ejaculation?

If premature ejaculation is persistent

Consult a doctor if you consistently ejaculate within one minute of penetration or struggle to delay ejaculation over time, as ongoing symptoms may require medical assessment and treatment.

If it affects mental health or relationships

Seek medical advice if premature ejaculation is causing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or leading to relationship difficulties with your partner.

If there may be an underlying health condition

See a doctor if premature ejaculation is linked to hormonal imbalances, chronic health conditions, or other medical issues that need diagnosis and appropriate management.

Is premature ejaculation related to erectile dysfunction?

Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction can be related. Some men may experience both, and erectile dysfunction can sometimes worsen premature ejaculation by creating additional anxiety. Treating one condition may help alleviate the other.
