Understanding Premature Ejaculation: what it is and why it happens
Premature ejaculation is a condition where a man reaches sexual climax earlier than desired, frequently or always. This occurs even with little sexual stimulation and can happen before, during, or shortly after penetration. Although it is a common condition, premature ejaculation can be frustrating and embarrassing, impacting the quality of life of the man and his partner.
But why does premature ejaculation happen? Contrary to what many think, the main cause is not linked to sexual performance itself. Most cases of premature ejaculation are related to psychological factors such as anxiety, stress, or relationship problems, although they can also be associated with medical conditions such as hormonal dysfunction or prostate issues.
Considered a public health problem, it is estimated that about 30% of men are affected by premature ejaculation, but few seek medical help out of shame or not understanding that it is a condition that can be treated with clinical hypnosis, always associated with evidence-based practices.
It is important to emphasize that premature ejaculation is a condition that can be controlled. Without taboos, prejudices, or judgments, effective treatment can provide better sexuality and well-being quality.
Identifying the symptoms of premature ejaculation
To identify the symptoms of premature ejaculation, it is crucial to know that, in general, it is an inability to delay ejaculation during intimate relations. But this happens to all men at some point. Therefore, it becomes concerning when it happens systematically – more than half the time.
One of the main indicators is when ejaculation occurs within a minute of penetration or even before it. Another aspect is if there is an inability to delay it in all or almost all intimate relations.
Premature ejaculation can also manifest in secondary ways. For example, you may notice increasing feelings of frustration or avoid sexual intimacy due to the condition. Additionally, feeling stressed or anxious at the thought of having sexual relations can also be a symptom.
It’s important to mention that if these symptoms persist for six months or more, it is advisable to seek medical support. Remember: premature ejaculation is treatable, and a correct diagnosis is necessary to obtain the appropriate help.
Risk factors and causes of premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation can be caused by various factors, many of which are associated with mental and physical health. It is essential to understand that no case is the same as another, and each individual may have a unique combination of causes.
In this sense, one of the main risk factors for premature ejaculation is the presence of psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Such conditions can generate greater sensitivity in the genital region and an acceleration in the ejaculatory reflex.
Alongside the emotional state, health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and hormonal imbalances can also contribute to premature ejaculation. Additionally, the use of substances such as alcohol and drugs can interfere with the control of the ejaculatory reflex.
Finally, men with a history of rushed sexual behaviors may also be more prone to premature ejaculation. That is, those who have the habit of ejaculating quickly to avoid being caught during masturbation, for example, may develop a faster ejaculation reflex.
Understanding these risk factors can be the first step in helping someone facing this condition. The next step? Exploring treatment options, such as clinical hypnosis.
Myths and truths about premature ejaculation
In any medical subject, including “premature ejaculation”, we find a series of myths that can hinder the correct understanding of the condition. Let’s unravel some of them.
First, many believe that premature ejaculation is only a problem for young people. In fact, although it is common in adolescence, this condition can affect men of all ages.
Another myth: “premature ejaculation” is a sign of lack of sexual experience. The reality is that this condition is not necessarily related to sexual experience. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including anxiety and stress.
Some people also think it cures only with time. This is a mistake. Many men overcome it with age and experience, but this is not always the case. Depending on the case, professional support, such as therapists or psychologists, and even specific clinical treatments may be necessary.
Finally, there are those who believe that only medication can solve the problem. However, therapy focused on relaxation, arousal control techniques, and even clinical hypnosis can be very effective alternatives.
Therefore, it is important to seek quality information from health professionals to have a realistic and scientific understanding of “premature ejaculation”, avoiding confusion caused by myths and popular beliefs.
Premature ejaculation and clinical hypnosis: how it can help
Clinical hypnosis is a powerful tool in combating various problems and disorders, including premature ejaculation. By acting directly on the mind, hypnosis can help reconfigure how the individual deals with the issue, allowing him to have a healthier relationship with his own sexuality.
Hypnosis can help identify and address underlying causes of the problem, often originating from anxiety or stress. The deep relaxation techniques used also play an important role, reducing tension and helping to increase control over the body and mind.
In a treatment for premature ejaculation with hypnosis, anxiety and stress reduction is first addressed, as these are often the triggering factors of the problem. Consequently, the automatic control that the body has over the moment of ejaculation is deliberated, helping to prolong it.
Treatment with hypnosis is safe, non-invasive, and can be used in conjunction with other methods. Everything is done individually, considering each person’s profile and specific needs. It is important to emphasize that the treatment is intended for men already diagnosed and that hypnosis does not replace professional health monitoring.
Therefore, if you work with clinical hypnosis or intend to work in the area, it is important to know and explore all the possibilities of applying this tool, always prioritizing its ethical and responsible use.
Methods of prevention and control of premature ejaculation
Managing premature ejaculation requires a combination of physical and psychological approaches. First, it is essential to focus on arousal control. Practices such as the ‘stop-start’ technique, where the man interrupts sexual activity when he feels he is close to ejaculating, can be quite useful.
Another useful method is the ‘squeeze’ technique, where the partner presses the base of the penis to reduce the urge to ejaculate. Both techniques require practice and patience but are effective in the long run.
In addition to physical techniques, psychotherapies such as scientific hypnosis can be instrumental in controlling premature ejaculation. Hypnosis can help resolve underlying emotional issues that may contribute to PE. By working with a clinical hypnosis professional, it is possible to learn self-hypnosis techniques to improve control during sexual activity.
It is also important to consider overall well-being. Factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, high alcohol consumption, and smoking can exacerbate premature ejaculation. Therefore, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a crucial part of control and prevention.
Remember, each person is unique and it may take time to find the best method for managing PE. The key is patience and the willingness to explore different techniques until you discover what works best for you.
Medical perspective on premature ejaculation: diagnosis and treatment
From a medical perspective, “premature ejaculation” is a sexual dysfunction that can be diagnosed when it occurs before or shortly after penetration, impairing individual or couple sexual satisfaction. The specialist, usually a urologist or sexologist, will consider factors such as the frequency of the problem, the degree of ejaculatory control, and possible emotional consequences in the diagnosis.
There are basically two types of treatment: medication therapy and psychotherapy. The latter can be individual or in couples, focusing on arousal control techniques and cognitive-behavioral therapy, which help change perception about sexual activity and related anxiety. Although not the first line of treatment, medications such as antidepressants can also be prescribed in specific cases.
It is important to remember that medical diagnosis and treatment are essential for dealing with premature ejaculation. It is worth noting, however, that all these forms of help can be enhanced with clinical hypnosis practices when performed by certified and trained professionals.
Treatment varies for each individual and cure is entirely possible. Therefore, do not let discomfort or shame prevent you from seeking health and well-being.
Healthy life after premature ejaculation: recovery and better quality of life
Overcoming premature ejaculation opens doors to a better quality of life. Not just sexual, but emotional as well. After all, we can confirm that when sexual issues are in order, the entire personal life tends to flow better.
