Hi,
Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculate sooner during sexual intercourse than he or his partner would like. Studies have found that the average desirable duration of sexual intercourse is 7-13 minutes. Premature ejaculation may result from hormonal imbalance, abnormal levels of brain chemicals or
neurotransmitters, inflammation and Infection of prostate
or urethra, psychological causes like anxiety,stress etc, DM, HTN,
high cholesterol, injuries to nerve, lack of proper blood supply to penis, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, erratic lifestyle etc. Lifestyle modification, excercising regularly, avoid smoking, alcohol consumption, anxiety and
stress management, taking of balanced diet daily, avoid taking trans fat, taking some multivitamins and micronutrients like vitamin C, E, D, E, B-Complex,
folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc etc may help to improve premature ejaculation.
s.testosteron, pelvic ultrasound or MRI, RBS, thyroid function test, fasting
lipid profile etc may be undergone for finding out the underlying causes for premature ejaculation. Sildenafil (viagra) may be used to treat premature ejaculation.
The average length of a flaccid penis is 3.61 inches, while the average length of an erect penis is 5.16 inches. Systemic
testosterone may help to enlarge penis.
