Causes
PE can be lifelong or acquired. Contributing factors may include anxiety, erectile dysfunction, prostatitis symptoms, relationship stress, sensitivity patterns and learned rapid ejaculation habits.
Behavioural therapy

Medications
Selected medicines or topical options may be used under medical supervision. Choice depends on medical history, side effects and patient goals.
Treatment goals
