Are prostate problems like prostatitis related to premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation is considered a result caused directly by different kinds of prostate problems like prostatitis. It occurs when a man experiences orgasm and expels semen soon after sexual activity and with minimal penile stimulation. It has also been called early ejaculation, rapid ejaculation, rapid climax, premature climax, and ejaculation praecox. There is no uniform cut-off defining "premature," but a consensus of experts at the International Society for Sexual Medicine endorsed a definition including "ejaculation which always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about one minute. The International Classification of Diseases applies a cut-off of 15 seconds from the beginning of sexual intercourse. However most average men report that they wish they could last longer. Men's typical ejaculatory latency is approximately 4–8 minutes.
Men with PE often report emotional and relationship distress and some avoid pursuing sexual relationships because of PE-related embarrassment. Compared with men, women consider PE less of a problem, but several studies show that the condition also causes female partners distress. More and more men are experiencing the symptom of premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation (PE) is a very common complaint. Many surveys have concluded that between 30-60% of male population have intermittent concerns related to ejaculating too rapidly.
Among all kinds of prostate problems, prostatitis is a most common reason that can cause premature ejaculation. Causes of prostate inflammation include bacterial infection, auto-immune response or disordered immune response, physical injury, prostate stones, food allergies, virus, yeast infection, or a rare tumor. Many doctors and clinics do only cursory checking for bacteria. But even doctors who do very careful checking for bacteria, and indeed find bacteria, cannot always make their patients' symptoms go away.
When deciding the appropriate treatment, it is important for physician to distinguish PE as a "complaint" versus PE as a "syndrome". Only individuals with lifelong PE with IELT shorter than 1–1.5 minutes should require medication as a first option, along with or without therapy. For those who fall into one of the other categories, treatment should consist of patient reassurance, behavior therapy and psycho education to explain that irregular early ejaculation is a normal variation. Recovery from premature ejaculation caused by prostatitis can be attained effectively by combining the internal healing benefits from herbs and drainage of the pus built-up from the prostate gland. Nutrients and anti-fungal properties of herbs help reduce the inflammation, reduce DHT, and rejuvenate the ejaculation nerves simultaneously. Therefore Chinese herbal medicine like diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill seems to be the best solution.
