About Premature Ejaculation

Premature Ejaculation, uncontrolled ejaculation either before or shortly after sexual penetration, is one of the most common male sexual conditions that probably affects most men at some point in their life. [Source: WebMD] While premature ejaculation is a recognized medical condition with its own medical ICD-9 code of 302.7, its causes are still not entirely known. Psychological factors are thought to play a role. Hormonal problems, medication side effects, and inflammation can also be factors. New genetic research suggests that some men may be genetically predisposed to premature ejaculation.
