When is the best time to treat a problem? Some people think it’s best to deal with something head on as soon as you notice it. Others say let it be for a while
to see if it resolves on its own and deal with it only when it becomes chronic. For men coping with sexual performance issues, delaying treatment or denying there’s a problem can easily make a small issue turn into a major challenge.
In terms of problems with sexual performance, there aren’t any issues that are as common or prevalent as premature ejaculation. It’s a problem pretty much every guy on Earth deals with at least once in his life and experts think as much as one-third of the male population experiences early ejaculation on a regular basis.

Even though it’s common and just about everyone knows about it, men coping with the condition still often feel isolated and alone. As a result, many men initially deny they even have a problem and then postpone taking action hoping it will just take care of itself over time. But this is possibly the worst approach when it comes to treating the issue with any hope for long term success or improvement.

On the other hand, there’s no reason to go into a state of panic the first time you have a problem with early ejaculation. After all, the biggest reason why the condition is so well known is that it can be triggered by quite literally anything. Poor diet, a bad night’s sleep, problems at work or even just a disappointing movie can throw a man off his game for a night.

So where’s the balance? Should men take action at the first sign of premature ejaculation or wait it out a while? The truth lays, as it often does, somewhere in the middle.

When – And How – To Take Action With Premature Ejaculation

Since an episode of premature ejaculation can be triggered by just about anything, it’s important to remain calm when and if it does happen. Sometimes it’s easy to figure out what the trigger was. Maybe you had too much to drink that night or you were side tracked thinking about a problem at work. Perhaps you’re in the middle of an argument with a friend or family member or maybe you’re just not feeling your best.

When it’s easy to spot the trigger, the solution is equally straight-forward: deal with it right away. Think your love of greasy burgers is making it difficult for you to perform? Clean up your diet for a week and see what happens. Stress at work making bedroom performance slump? Find ways to solve the problem and implement ways to better manage your stress such as exercise or meditation.

But when there’s no discernible trigger and common sense steps aren’t helping, it’s time to deal with the condition as frankly and openly as possible. Talk to your doctor, a trusted friend or a male health clinic that specialises in sexual well-being. There are dozens of different options for men now to take control of their sexual health without having to feel nervous or self-conscious. More to the point, there are so many new treatment options that go beyond the old standbys of creams and numbing agents. Today men can choose from a wide range of options running the gamut from specialised diets to Botox injections in order to treat the condition.

Avoiding treatment for premature ejaculation will do nothing to help the condition. In fact, delaying treatment can add to the stress and anxiety associated with the condition which actually makes it worse and more difficult to treat. Instead of denying the issue or simply wishing it away, pay attention to what your body is telling you and you’ll always be in the perfect position to take effective proactive steps in order to keep your sex life healthy and happy.
