Is Premature Ejaculation Caused By Low Testosterone Levels?

Posted on Fri, 5 Aug 2016

Question: I'm a 44 y.o. male. 5'-10", 165#. I have been on bp meds for maybe 10 years. I take Beneicar. My bp varies on the meds. On the high end would be 120/85 and low would be maybe 100/68. Over the years, I've frequently had itching of the perineal. Over the last couple of years it seems that the itching has been in a specific area at the base of my left testicle. The skin sometimes looks dry and flaky. It looks like dry skin. I do put lotion on from time to time and it helps. Also, over the last 2 years or so, I have had premature ejaculation issues. It seems worse in the winter when I'm not as active and gets better in the summer when I'm more active. I am an engineer and am at a desk 40-50 hours a week. I have also been trying to workout more frequently with strength based exercises in particular in the event that the PE is related to low testosterone. It does seem to help some. I also take Protonix for acid reflux and Focallin for adult ADD. The reason I'm writing is in case the itching and the PE are potentially related and might indicate something that I should be concerned about. thx. XXXXXXX

These issues were over the last couple of years and not months.
I should have been more specific on the PE side of things. What I've seen is that I frequently have difficultly maintaining an erection. If there is lull in activity, say a change of position or the need to lock a door, etc, the erection is lost. In an attempt to get a new erection, premature ejaculation frequently happens.
