PE Widely Affecting Asian Men

PE (premature ejaculation) almost always occurs before vaginal penetration or within a minute of penetration. This very topic is still very taboo in a very conservative Asia, but according to studies up to 30 percent of men suffer from this. New hope may be on the horizon, the Asia Pacific Premature Ejaculation Prevalence and Attitude Study (AP PEPA) released in December could be the first step in helping make this condition prevalent in the medical community.

Even though as many as 30% of the male population may suffer from this, few men are willing to admit it, and even fewer are likely to seek help with the condition. Around 5000 men from 10 Asian countries were involved in a study conducted by Dr. George Lee Eng Geap, a consultant urologist at the University of Malaya and a clinical associate at the Monash University. The men studied were between the ages of 18 and 65.

Dr. Lee along with Dr. Zulkifli Zainuddin, secretary general of the Malaysian Urological Association both spoke at length trying to create awareness about a PE and educated the public about their misunderstanding on the subject.

This condition which has a distinctive difference from erectile dysfunction (ED) is not a life threatening condition, thus its under publicized. But none the less, according to Zulkifli this condition does have devastating affects on men and their relationships.

This condition can lead to relationships failing, leading to breakups and divorce. It can also make a man refrain from entering a long lasting relationship of any kind and lower there self esteem into depression.

Because of the taboo nature of the condition, men are extremely reluctant to discuss their situation with their partners or doctors to try and come up with a solution. Thus making men go to extreme measures like buying roadside products that only cause other issues, or purchasing products on-line that likely don’t work.

The very first step needed to accomplish is to get men to acknowledge the condition. Second, these same men must improve communication between them and their partners. Once both are on board together, then seek help from the medical community, whether it be a doctor or a psychologist.

With the cooperation of the partner a doctor can better establish a solution to the problem. Most common solutions are approved sprays and ointments to desensitize the penis. Unfortunately sometimes this also desensitizes the woman as well. Some side affects can be skin rashes and irritability.

There are also behavioral strategies that have shown great success, these also include exercises that can be done with or without the partner.

Solutions could also be as simple as managing stress, diet, and exercise.
