Delayed ejaculation is a condition in which it takes a long period of sexual arousal to reach climax and release semen from the penis, called ejaculate. Some people with delayed ejaculation can’t ejaculate at all.
Delayed ejaculation can be a brief or lifelong problem. Possible causes of delayed ejaculation include certain ongoing health conditions, surgeries and medicines. Treatment for delayed ejaculation depends on the cause.
Delayed ejaculation can happen from time to time. Delayed ejaculation is a problem only if it’s ongoing and causes stress or worry for you and your partner.
