      ejaculation Fast and short periods of time may be caused by a variety of factors, which can generally be divided into two major aspects: physiological and psychological. Next, we will analyze these possible triggers in depth to help everyone better understand this phenomenon.

    physiological factors

      nerve System factors: The nervous system plays a key regulatory role in the ejaculation process. Some male It may be that the nervous system is too sensitive, which makes it easy to ejaculate prematurely during sex. For example, the distribution of the dorsal nerves of the penis is abnormal, and the excitability of the nerves is too high, which accelerates the conduction speed of sexual stimulation and easily reaches the ejaculation threshold, resulting in rapid ejaculation. Like Peking University No. 1 Hospital Research from the Andrology Center shows that some Premature ejaculation The patient has changes in the physiological function of the nerves of the penis.

      Endocrine factors: Endocrine disorders may also cause the problem of fast and short ejaculation. Abnormal changes in testosterone levels can affect sexual desire and ejaculatory function. When testosterone levels are too low, sexual dysfunction may occur, but rapid ejaculation may also occur. In addition, endocrine disorders such as hyperthyroidism disease It may also affect the ability to control ejaculation. Experts from the Department of Andrology at Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine pointed out that endocrine factors account for a certain proportion in ejaculation dysfunction.

      Reproductive system diseases: Some reproductive system diseases are common physiological causes of rapid ejaculation. for example prostatitis , inflammation will stimulate the prostate and surrounding nerves, leading to abnormal ejaculatory reflexes and prone to premature ejaculation. Seminal vesiculitis can also increase the sensitivity of the seminal vesicles, which can easily lead to premature ejaculation during sexual intercourse. Department of Andrology, First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University clinical Data show that a considerable number of patients with reproductive system inflammation have problems with rapid ejaculation.

    psychological factors

      Anxiety and Nervousness: Anxiety and nervousness are common psychological factors that lead to rapid ejaculation. In sexual life, men may feel anxious because they are worried that they will not perform well and will not be able to satisfy their partner. This kind of anxiety will interfere with the brain's control of the ejaculation reflex, causing the ejaculation center to be excited in advance, leading to premature ejaculation. For example, men who have sex for the first time are often prone to ejaculation quickly due to nervousness and excitement. Research from the Department of Psychological Medicine of Peking Union Medical College Hospital found that rapid ejaculation caused by psychological factors is not uncommon in clinical practice.

      Excessive pressure: Modern life is fast-paced, and men are faced with pressure from work, family and other aspects. Long-term stress can affect the function of the nervous system, causing the body to be in a state of stress. In this state, the ability to control ejaculation during sex will also be affected. Stress may also lead to decreased sleep quality, endocrine disorders, etc., further aggravating the problem of rapid ejaculation. Experts from the andrology department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital remind that relieving stress is of great significance to improving ejaculation function.

      Psychological trauma: Unpleasant events in past sexual experiences, such as sexual assault, sexual abuse, etc., may cause psychological trauma to men. These traumas will subconsciously affect men's sexual psychology and sexual behavior, leading to rapid ejaculation and short duration. In this case, professional psychotherapy is needed to help patients overcome psychological barriers.
