Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual dysfunction. It makes a man ejaculate earlier than he and his partner expect. The condition can distress the entire life of a person. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with your doctor if you experience such a problem. He may diagnose your condition and rule out the possible cause. Accordingly, he may prescribe suitable premature ejaculation treatment. There are some other symptoms of ejaculatory problems that a person may notice if he has the condition-
- He ends up within one minute of sexual activity very often, or every time you have sex
- He remains unable to control the orgasm very often, or every time he engages in intercourse
- Feel frustrated because of the condition and avoid the sexual activity
You may feel embarrassed to share the same with your doctor. However, you should know that it is a common and treatable sexual complaint that can be treated with several treatment methods. Premature ejaculation can be categorized into 2 types. They are as follows-

It is said when a man faces ejaculatory problems even after having no such issues earlier.
