How To Talk To Your Doctor About Premature Ejaculation?

Yes, some men are still embarrassed to go to doctors regarding PE or sexual health conditions. Even if you managed to go, how are you going to talk to the doctor about PE?

When you realize that you have premature ejaculation syndrome, you may seek medical attention.

The best approach is to book an appointment with your doctor for the same. Premature ejaculation is a complex sexual ailment.

In fact, many sex and health experts still argue over the definitive cause of this disease.

Some experts say it's all rooted in a man's psyche, but some others have suggested through new studies that premature ejaculation may actually have some serious rooting in inherited physical traits.

That said, no man should feel embarrassed about having this talk with his doctor. If even experts are still figuring it out, what chances do you have to understand it all on your own?

As such, understand that getting a doctor’s perspective is very important for the correct treatment of your condition.

At any rate, this is a situation that needs immediate expert handling, so it is best to get treatment as early as possible.

Why is it important to get treatment as early as possible? Because the longer you wait for a resolution the worse it may get.

Even if the physical condition remains the same for a long time, your relationships could take the blow.

And as such, the longer you struggle with premature ejaculation, the more diminished your self-esteem may become.

Understandably, doctor visits are expensive, so use this time well.

It's best when you already have some background information regarding this particular ailment. The more information you have, the better the prognosis.

This will be helpful in helping your doctor understand your medical history. The more the doctor can understand, the more information you will get in turn.

This is useful for the doctor to get you the right kind of treatment that will have the most minimal risk of failure nor side effects.

With that said, don’t let your worries or insecurities to get in the way of your asking the right questions. Yes, even the embarrassing ones.

Your doctor will not judge you at all. Doctors are meant to take in patient information as much as possible.

Also, it is very unlikely that you are the only ONE who has ever raised uncommon questions. And you sure aren’t going to be the last one either.

So, be confident and consult your doctor proudly with positive expectations.

To prepare for the examination, you need to gather relevant information that would help during the tests.

This means that you should assess your reactions and list what other medicines you are currently taking.

Yup, your medicines also need to be relayed to your doctor. This is because we know that sometimes PE is caused by certain common medications.

Further, you should know how long this problem has existed and why you feel that it's becoming a nuisance. Other essential traits include your lifestyle, work, and home environment.

All of this will eventually be conveyed to your healthcare provider, so if there is too much information, you can type them down on your computer and can print the essential information when everything is in place

Your medical history is important. So you must detail what underlying medical conditions you are currently tackling.

You should also know the drugs you presently consume to help with your ailments. Have you undergone any surgical procedures lately?

And do you have any abnormality as a result of an accident or injury? 

One of the most important things to also include is your allergies. List all your allergies, even if you think they are not that important.

All allergies could potentially be fatal, so your doctor needs to know them, okay?

On lifestyle, note down the frequency and quantity of alcohol and other recreational drugs you may be taking and the duration.

Try to think of the average if it’s too difficult to pin down correctly. But most importantly, be honest! If you reduce the numbers to make yourself look better, it’s not serving anybody.

Also, if you smoke, tabulate how many cigarettes you inhale daily. It's also worth mentioning the type of foods you eat.

Again, food allergies also need to be mentioned.

Although your doctor will not prescribe you any food, this information is still important so your doctor knows what health issues you are dealing with.

Also, by mentioning the types of food you usually consume, your doctor may be able to detect if some foods are actually causing you to suffer from premature ejaculation.

With that said, be prepared to get told to stop eating such food items you have liked for so long.

Regarding your work, do you find it stressful? Are you always under pressure to meet deadlines?

Do your peers and supervisors admonish you over complex solutions? Do you carry work home regularly?

These are essential information that your doctor may seek information on.

Your doctor will want to know if you suffer from any kind of mental exhaustion that may be causing the condition of premature ejaculation to have developed.

Mental conditions like stress from too much work can cause severe fatigue that could then lead to premature ejaculation.

Anxiety and depression are also some disorders that can cause this and if this was the case with you, an immediate intervention will be needed.

Some doctors may prescribe you medication to hold back symptoms of anxiety and depression, but it is best to seek out therapy.

Therapy will be able to help you jolt down the primary causes of your subconscious worries. Eventually, if you choose therapy to help you along, you will have a better time resting at home.

Besides, home is where you go to rest. Do you actually relax when there? Do you get enough time to sleep well?

Is your spouse supportive, or does she pile additional pressure and create unhealthy anxiety? Are you happy with your relationship?

Sometimes, sexual dysfunctions are not caused by some kind of ailment. Rather, it could be caused by some friction with the people closest to you.

If this was the case for you, your doctor may suggest you and your partner see a counselor.

Finally, even though it appears far-fetched, you should consult your relatives. Is there a history of ED in your lineage? Maybe it's because of congenital and hereditary factors.
