Hormone Problems In Men And Premature Ejaculation
September 8th, 2010

If you are consistently having a problem with premature ejaculation you may have a hormone problem. Most men experience premature ejaculation at some point in their lives but if you have always had premature ejaculations you should see a doctor. Your problem might be a hormone imbalance that can cause men to ejaculate prematurely. There are several different types of hormone imbalances that are known to lead to premature ejaculation and other sexual dysfunctions.

Hormone imbalances can be treated but your doctor might need to do several series of tests to find out what hormones are imbalanced. You also can take medication and supplements to balance the hormone levels which should solve the problem of premature ejaculation. However balancing your hormone levels won’t happen overnight, especially if this is an imbalance you have had for a long time. It might take time for your doctor to find just the right medication to help your hormone levels become balanced.

During the process of trying out medications you might find that your sexual dysfunctions get worse for a brief amount of time. Some medications can have severe sexual side effects so different medications may cause the problems you already have like premature ejaculation to get worse before getting better and you may develop new sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction. Whenever you start a new medication keep a close watch on how you feel and how the medication affects you because if you have a lot of bad reactions or a lot of new problems that are caused by the medication then your doctor will probably want to put you on a different medication.

There is no cure for premature ejaculation. The only way to really cure premature ejaculation is to find the underlying cause of the premature ejaculation and treat that. Sometimes the cause is psychological but sometimes it’s medical, which is why it’s important to see a doctor if you have been experiencing premature ejaculation for a long time. If you don’t know of a good doctor in your area ask your insurance company or your primary care physician for a referral to a specialist.

Premature ejaculation can also be caused by a thyroid imbalance called Hyperthyroidism. If you have Hyperthyroidism then your thyroid gland is making too much of the thyroid hormone and it can throw your entire body out of whack. Often when men have experienced premature ejaculation for most of their lives the cause is Hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism also slows down your body’s production of Testosterone which can cause a lot of different sexual dysfunctions.

If your body isn’t making enough Testosterone there are several ways that your body can be encouraged to make more and there are also supplements that you can take which will supply Testosterone. Hormone levels need to be carefully monitored because if they are too far out of whack your body can be permanently damaged. If a hormone problem is causing your premature ejaculation then you will need to work closely with a doctor you trust to solve the imbalance and get your body back on the right track.
