Lesson 1
What Does Delayed Ejaculation Mean?
Delayed ejaculation is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability or significant difficulty of a man to reach orgasm and release semen, despite adequate sexual stimulation. This can lead to frustration and stress for both partners and can affect sexual satisfaction and the overall quality of life. Causes of delayed ejaculation can be physical, psychological, or a combination of both.
Lesson 2
Delayed Ejaculation Causes
Delayed ejaculation is a sexual dysfunction in which a man has difficulty or is unable to reach orgasm and ejaculate semen. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Physical causes such as nerve damage, certain medications, and prostate surgery.
Psychological causes such as anxiety, depression, and stress.
Substance abuse, including alcohol and drugs.
Relationship problems, such as performance anxiety or lack of trust.
Chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and cardiovascular disease.

It is diagnosed through a combination of physical exams, medical history, and psychological assessments. Additionally, tests such as hormone levels, semen analysis, and nerve conduction studies may also be conducted to rule out any underlying physical causes. The ultimate goal of the diagnosis is to determine the underlying cause of the problem and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
