Diagnostic criteria for Premature Ejaculation DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association)

B. The disturbance causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.

C. The premature ejaculation is not due exclusively to the direct effects of a substance (e.g., withdrawal from opioids).

Differential diagnosis of Pre mature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation should be distinguished from erectile dysfunction related to the development of a general medical condition. Some individuals with erectile dysfunction may omit their usual strategies for delaying orgasm. Others require prolonged noncoital stimulation to develop a degree of erection sufficient for intromission. In such individuals, sexual arousal may be so high that ejaculation occurs immediately. Occasional problems with premature ejaculation that are not persistent or recurrent or are not accompanied by marked distress or interpersonal difficulty do not qualify for the diagnosis of premature ejaculation. The clinician should also take into account the individual's age, overall sexual experience, recent sexual activity, and the novelty of the partner. When problems with premature ejaculation are due exclusively to substance use (e.g., opioid withdrawal), a substance-induced sexual dysfunction can be diagnosed.

Ejaculation disorder types

1. Premature ejaculation - Ejaculation occurs very early
2. Delayed ejaculation - Ejaculation takes a long time
3. Retrograde ejaculation - Semen flows from the prostate gland into the bladder rather than exiting out of the penis.
4. Inhibited orgasm in males
