Premature Ejaculation - Tower Urology
The Challenge of Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is a common sexual disorder that affects many men worldwide. It is characterized by the inability to control or delay ejaculation, leading to frustration and unsatisfactory sexual experiences.
Causes of Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation can have various causes, both psychological and physiological. Psychological factors such as anxiety, stress, and performance anxiety can contribute to the condition. Additionally, relationship issues or unresolved sexual conflicts may play a role in the onset of premature ejaculation.
Physiological factors that can contribute to premature ejaculation include hormonal imbalances, abnormal levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, or an oversensitivity of the penis. Certain health conditions like prostate problems or thyroid disorders may also be linked to premature ejaculation.
Recognizing the Symptoms
Identifying the symptoms of premature ejaculation is essential in seeking appropriate treatment. Some common signs include:
- Rapid ejaculation: Ejaculating within a minute of penetration, often before desired.
- Lack of control: The inability to delay ejaculation during sexual activity.
- Emotional distress: Feelings of frustration, embarrassment, or low self-esteem due to premature ejaculation.
- Impact on relationships: Strain on intimate relationships due to unsatisfactory sexual experiences.

1. Psychotherapy and Counseling
In many cases, psychological factors contribute to premature ejaculation. Our skilled therapists provide counseling sessions aimed at understanding and addressing the underlying emotional triggers. Psychotherapy can help develop coping strategies, improve communication, and reduce anxiety related to sexual performance.
2. Behavioral Techniques
Tower Urology offers behavioral techniques that can assist in managing and controlling premature ejaculation. These techniques include the start-stop method, where sexual stimulation is paused before reaching the point of no return, and the squeeze technique, involving gentle pressure on the base of the penis to delay ejaculation.
3. Medication
In certain cases, medications may be prescribed to help manage premature ejaculation. Tower Urology's experienced physicians carefully evaluate each patient's specific needs and may recommend selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or topical anesthetics, which can help delay ejaculation and improve sexual satisfaction.
4. Medical Procedures
In rare cases, when other treatments prove ineffective, Tower Urology offers innovative medical procedures to treat premature ejaculation. These procedures include penile injections, nerve blockades, or surgical interventions, which should be thoroughly discussed with our experienced medical team.
