Studies have found that high amounts of serotonin in the brain slow down the time to ejaculation, and low amounts of serotonin can lead to a condition such as premature ejaculation.

Psychological factors also commonly contribute to premature ejaculation, such as depression, stress, unrealistic expectations about performance, a history of sexual repression, or a general lack of confidence.

It can happen because there is not enough communication between partners, emotional abuse, or conflicts that interfere with the ability to achieve emotional intimacy.

What treatments are available?

There are many treatment options for premature ejaculation: psychotherapy, behavioral therapy and medication.  Be sure to discuss these treatments with your doctor and decide together which of the following options is best for you
