premeerimiskäitumus

Premeerimiskäitumus, often translated as "premering behavior" or "premature ejaculation," is a common sexual dysfunction in men. It is characterized by ejaculation that occurs sooner than desired during sexual intercourse, often before or shortly after penetration, leading to distress for the individual and/or their partner. The exact causes are not fully understood and are believed to be multifactorial, involving psychological and biological elements.

Psychological factors can include performance anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or a history of early sexual experiences where rapid ejaculation was necessary or encouraged. Biological factors might involve hormonal imbalances, neurotransmitter levels (such as serotonin), or hypersensitivity of the penis. Some medical conditions, like prostate inflammation or thyroid problems, can also contribute.

The diagnosis of premeerimiskäitumus is typically made by a healthcare professional based on the man's reported experience and its impact on his sexual satisfaction and relationships. Treatment approaches are varied and may include behavioral techniques like the start-stop method or the squeeze technique. Medications, including certain antidepressants (SSRIs) that can delay ejaculation, are also frequently prescribed. Psychological counseling or sex therapy can be beneficial in addressing underlying anxiety and improving sexual communication. It is important for individuals experiencing this condition to consult a doctor to determine the most appropriate course of action.
