Current research suggests that premature ejaculation is a medical disorder with a psychological as well as a physical basis. Regarding psychological explanations, this theory often look to early male sexual experiences that conditioned rapid responsiveness. A second theory asserts that the pressure to perform under heightened anxiety may be another cause.
Scientific evidence indicates that increasing the amount of serotonin to the central nervous system through the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's) appears to increase the latency or period of time from penetration to ejaculation. The amount of data related to serotonin levels in the brain suggests that premature ejaculation has an organic basis.
Regarding physical explanations, part of specialists agree that there are three main causes of premature ejaculation or early release during sex act: - hypersensivity of penis nerves;
- hyperspasticity of the pelvic muscles;
- weakness of prostate glands.
Pharmacological treatment targets one of more from the above identified causes. The use of low dose anti-depressants including Anfronil, Clomipramine, Prozac, and Zoloft have been reported to be successful in prolonging ejaculation for many men. Levitra is now receiving increased attention from physicians as it has some good results during trials.
The Food and Drug Administration is reviewing an application for Dapoxetine, a drug similar to a family of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which was developed by Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, an affiliate of Johnson & Johnson. If approved by the FDA, Dapoxetine hydrochloride would be the first prescription treatment designed specifically to treat premature ejaculation.
To avoid the adverse drug side effects from such prescription medications many men is seeking natural remedies. There is now a new herbal formula - Climatrol - that provides natural serotonin precursors and nutrients to improve the speed of the chemical reaction in the brain. It allows more serotonin to be formed and available for use by the body while simultaneously delivering safe and effective herbal antidepressants. |
