FAQs on Premature Ejaculation

What is Premature Ejaculation?

Ejaculating before or within 1 minute (some researchers give it 2 minutes) of actual penetration is called Premature Ejaculation.

Is Premature Ejaculation same as Erectile Dysfunction?

No. Premature ejaculation measures the time taken by the man to ejaculate. But, erectile dysfunction is a condition where a man has a problem with achieving or retaining erection of his penis to perform sex with his partner. (Also called impotency).

Should I see a doctor if I ejaculate too soon?

Depends on how many times this happens. If premature ejaculation happens when you have sex after a very long gap, that’s perfectly normal. You don’t need to see any doctor.

But, if you happen to ejaculate too quickly almost every time you have sex with your partner, then you must see a urologist / sexologist.
