Introduction
Premature ejaculation (PE) is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the male ejaculating earlier than desired—specifically, within two minutes after vaginal penetration—before the female partner achieves orgasm, thereby resulting in disharmony during intercourse. There are numerous causes of PE, including early ejaculation triggered by psychological stress or anxiety in males; such cases are considered normal physiological phenomena.

There are numerous causes of premature ejaculation. For instance, some men experience early ejaculation under conditions of high psychological stress or anxiety; this is considered a normal physiological response. Occasional episodes of such PE typically resolve spontaneously once mental and emotional well-being is restored.
Habitual premature ejaculation generally refers to recurrent PE occurring regularly in adult males. These individuals usually have normal erectile function and firm penile erections; however, during intercourse, they often feel rushed or impatient, eager to reach orgasm quickly—thereby precipitating premature ejaculation. This pattern is most commonly observed among young and middle-aged men.
Additionally, PE may be associated with excessive masturbation, phimosis, infrequent sexual activity, or prostatitis. Regardless of the underlying cause, pathological premature ejaculation warrants timely medical evaluation and professional guidance from a healthcare provider.
