Delayed Ejaculation


MSH (My Sexual Health) team members are healthcare professionals who specialise in helping patients with delayed ejaculation (DE), a condition characterised by the difficulty or inability to ejaculate during sexual activity. They provide valuable support, assessment, and treatment options to individuals experiencing this sexual concern.


Understanding Delayed Ejaculation (DE):


MSH team members have knowledge about delayed ejaculation and its potential causes. They can explain that DE can be primary (lifelong) or secondary (acquired) and can be caused by physical, psychological, or relational factors. They provide education on the sexual response cycle, the role of arousal and stimulation, and how delayed ejaculation can affect sexual experiences and relationships.


Assessment and Evaluation:


MSH team members conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the underlying factors contributing to delayed ejaculation. They consider physical, psychological, and relational aspects. They may inquire about medical history, sexual history, current medications, and any emotional or relational challenges that may affect sexual experiences.


Treatment Options:


MSH team members offer various treatment options for delayed ejaculation based on the underlying causes. They may recommend a combination of approaches, including sexual therapy, psychological counselling, behavioural techniques, and exploration of different types of sexual stimulation. They guide communication with partners and foster a supportive and understanding sexual environment.


Relational and Emotional Support:


Delayed ejaculation can have an impact on relationships and emotional well-being. MSH team members provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment for individuals to discuss their concerns openly. They offer counselling and guidance on addressing emotional barriers, improving communication with partners, and enhancing intimacy and connection.


Collaboration with Specialists:


MSH team members collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as sex therapists, psychologists, or urologists, to ensure comprehensive care for patients with delayed ejaculation. They can provide referrals to specialists when necessary, ensuring that individuals receive specialised expertise and treatment options tailored to their specific needs.


Education and Resources:


MSH team members provide educational resources on delayed ejaculation, including information on potential causes, treatment options, and self-help strategies. They may recommend books, websites, or support groups that offer additional information and support for individuals with delayed ejaculation.


By seeking support from MSH team members, individuals experiencing delayed ejaculation can access expert guidance, evaluation, and treatment options tailored to their specific needs. The services provided by these professionals contribute to improving sexual well-being, enhancing communication, and promoting overall satisfaction and pleasure in sexual experiences.
