DELAYED EJACULATION:
Normally, a man reaches climax with 2-4 minutes of active stimulation of the genitals after which semen is discharged. In this particular condition, he is unable either to reach the climax i.e. orgasm or is takes a lot of time to ejaculate like 30-45 minutes. Sometimes the condition us caused by psychological disorders where the man can ejaculate upon masturbating but cannot during a normal intercourse. To make the picture more confusing, the condition might vanish for sometime and then return again.
CAUSES: Common psychological causes include a strict religious background, lack of attraction; stress, anxiety, emotional stupor; breakup or even anger might be involved. Physical causes include neurological diseases, birth defects, stroke, hypotension, heart surgery, prostate surgery, nerve block and use of certain drugs that are hazardous to sexuality. Prescribed medications and even the drug abuse could also be an important cause of the condition.
RISK FACTORS: Person’s with economical, mental and physical stress could loose interest in sexuality making them more liable to delayed ejaculation. Aging, alcohol, smoking, depression and antidepressants put the man on high risk for the condition of delayed ejaculation.
SYMPTOMS: Ejaculation upon manual stimulation or oral stimulation after a considerable period of time is a vital symptom of the disease.
