The causes of premature ejaculation can be both psychological and physiological. Psychological factors might include anxiety, stress, or relationship issues, while physiological factors could involve abnormal hormone levels, neurotransmitter imbalances, or heightened sensitivity of the penis.

PE is typically diagnosed based on a patient’s sexual history and symptoms. A healthcare provider may conduct an evaluation to rule out any underlying medical conditions or psychological issues that could be contributing to the problem.
