Premature ejaculation and prostate infections Posted: 06-13-08 03:45am
I have had a normal sex life for 23 years,
then two years ago, all at once, I
developed premature ejaculation so badly
that I ejaculate before entry. For the
last two years, without exception this has
been the case every time I have sex.
It has been suggested to me that a
prostate infection can be the cause. If
that were the case, would a prostate
infection clear itself up, or just go on
indefinitely? Also am I likely to notice
my prostate being hard and swollen if it
were infected?
Thanks.

Current medical status: Sudden onset,
severe premature ejaculation.
Prostate infection can cause erectile
dysfunction but I'm not sure about
premature ejaculation. Premature
ejaculation is considered to be a
functional disorder without any organic
disorder including prostate infection.
Anyway, if you have a prostate infection
you should be treating it. You can request
a urine and sperm biochemical and
microbiological examination to confirm an
infection and to isolate the infective
agent so that a proper antibiotic can be
prescribed. A prostate infection won't go
away by itself. Without treatment a
prostate infection can become chronic.
You may want to consult a urologist about
this.
