A lot of men are turning to a specific treatment to remedy a common problem in the bedroom and it's becoming increasingly more popular.
Issues between the sheets are far more common than most believe, with around 30 to 40 percent of men being affected by the health condition.
Premature ejaculation (PE) happens when a man ejaculates earlier than they anticipate or earlier than their partners, which could be due to a number of physical, emotional, or psychological factors.
It was a problem that was once highly stigmatised but more people are speaking about it now more than ever before, as it isn't only common among those in later years.

The issue can be frustrating for you and your partner, with some even experiencing lifelong problems, but it seems like there is now a medical solution which is becoming more popular.
How is premature ejaculation caused?
The average time men last in bed has been revealed in a recent study, claiming that around 16 minutes in bed is the benchmark - several healthcare providers have pointed out that ejaculating within one minute of beginnning intercourse can be classified as PE, though the exact timing for it can vary, with it being advised that you see your GP for a diagnosis.
It's said that one in five people between the ages of 18 and 59 report premature ejaculation, according to Cleveland Clinic.
PE can be brought on by any one of these physical causes:
- Prostate problems
- Thyroid problems
- The use of recreational drugs
When it comes to mental or psychological issues, it could be any one of:
- Stress
- Depression
- Anxiety about sexual performance
- Relationship problems
