Premature ejaculation

Quick release before satisfaction, often with anxiety or guilt, points to premature ejaculation. Ayurveda sees it as śukragata vāta, where disturbed vāta affects the śukra dhātu (reproductive tissue). When nerves are overstimulated and ojas (vital energy) is low, control weakens, leading to early release and emotional imbalance.

Common Causes of Premature ejaculation

Mental stress or performance anxiety
Frequent or hurried sexual activity
Suppressed emotions or unresolved guilt
Weak digestion reducing ojas and śukra dhātu
Overuse of stimulants or exposure to sexual media

Symptoms of Premature ejaculation

Involuntary ejaculation shortly after penetration
Lack of satisfaction or partner distress
Low confidence or emotional tension
Pelvic sensitivity or twitching sensation
Daytime fatigue or disturbed sleep
