When premature ejaculation happens so frequently
that it interferes with your sexual pleasure, it becomes
a medical problem requiring the care of a doctor.
To understand the problem, the doctor will need to
ask questions about your sexual history such as the
following:
• How often does the premature ejaculation occur?
• How long have you had this problem?
• Is the problem specific to one partner? Or does it
happen with every partner?
• Does premature ejaculation occur with all or just
some attempts
• How much stimulation results in premature
ejaculation?
• What type of sexual activity (i.e., foreplay,masturbation,
intercourse, use of visual clues, etc.)
is engaged in and how often?
• How has premature ejaculation affected sexual
activity?
• What is the quality of your personal relationships?
• How does premature ejaculation affect your quality
of life?
• Are there any factors that make premature
ejaculation worse or better (i.e. drugs, alcohol, etc.)?
Usually, laboratory testing is not necessary unless the
history and a physical examination reveal something
more complicated.
