Struggling with Premature Ejaculation - Need Ayurvedic Advice đ - #2293
Itâs been bothering me for a while now, and honestly, I feel too embarrassed to even talk about this in person with anyone. So, I thought maybe I can share here and get some help. Iâm 34 years old, married for 6 years, and lately, Iâve been facing issues with premature ejaculation. Itâs become so frequent now that itâs affecting my relationship with my wife. She tries to be supportive, but I can tell sheâs disappointed sometimes. This issue started about a year ago. At first, I thought it was stress from work (I work in sales, and itâs super demanding), but even during weekends or vacations when I should feel relaxed, the problem doesnât go away. Itâs like I barely last a minute or two during intimacy. I read online that lifestyle habits can be a cause. I do drink occasionally (beer mostly) and sometimes eat too much junk food because of late-night work. Iâm not very active physically either - maybe a morning walk once in a blue moon. Could these things be making it worse? I also noticed that I feel tired all the time, and my energy levels are really low. Iâve never really done any tests for this issue, but I did get a general health checkup a few months ago - everything came back normal, except slight vitamin D deficiency. My friend suggested yoga, but I donât know where to start. Another friend said Ayurveda has treatments for these kinds of issues. Iâve never tried Ayurvedic remedies before, but Iâm open to it if it can help me improve my stamina and solve this problem naturally. Can you recommend any herbs, diets, or practices for premature ejaculation that are easy to follow for someone like me? Is there a need for any specific diagnosis or tests in Ayurveda before starting treatment? And how long does it take to see results with natural remedies? Any advice would mean a lot. I just want to feel normal again and be able to enjoy intimacy without this constant stress. đ

It sounds like you are dealing with a combination of lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your issue with premature ejaculation. In Ayurveda, this condition is often linked to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly vata and pitta, which can affect the nervous system, stamina, and energy levels. Stress, poor diet, lack of physical activity, and low energy can all exacerbate the issue. For natural relief, I recommend incorporating herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari, which can support vitality and stamina, and improve overall energy levels. A cooling and balancing diet, with a focus on whole foods, fruits, and vegetables, while avoiding junk food and alcohol, will help restore balance. Yoga, particularly practices that focus on breath control (pranayama) and pelvic floor exercises, can also strengthen your body and improve control during intimacy. Ayurveda often emphasizes lifestyle changes and a holistic approach, so working on stress reduction, physical activity, and sleep quality will be key. It might take a few weeks to a couple of months to notice improvements, as natural remedies work gradually. While specific tests are not always necessary in Ayurveda, a personalized consultation can help tailor the approach to your unique constitution. With patience and consistent efforts, you should start feeling better over time.

Sounds like youâre dealing with quite a bit - no fun having this weigh on your mind. For starters, youâre definitely not alone in facing premature ejaculation, and thereâs plenty within Ayurveda that can offer some relief.
Letâs dive into it: The root cause in Ayurveda for this issue often relates to vata and pitta dosha imbalances. Stress and those unhealthy eating habits, yep, junk food and irregular meals, could be aggravating vata and pitta. Not to mention, lack of sleep or exercise can lower ojas (vitality) and agni (digestive fire), which contributes too. Since youâve got a busy lifestyle, weâll keep the recommendations do-able.
First off, consider Ahara (dietary) changes. Stick to warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest. Think less spicy, oily stuff, and more ghee, milk, nuts like almonds. Incorporate consumption of Ashwagandha and Shatavari in your diet â these herbs are wonderful for improving stamina and calming stress. You could take them as powders (churnas) mixed with warm milk, usually twice daily.
Dinacharyaâs a biggie, itâs your daily routine. Start with some simple yoga poses and pranayama breathing exercises to center yourself and reduce stress. Poses like vajrasana, paschimottanasana, and even daily jog or walks will improve vitality over time. Youâll wanna make these part of your everyday groove.
Also, cut down alcohol and limit junk food. Hard as that might be with the gig youâve got, moderation will do wonders. Instead of that occasional beer, stay hydrated with water or herbal teas like chamomile.
And hey, reason your energyâs low could be that vitamin D deficiency, so make sure youâre getting enough sunlight - try a break outside during lunch. If the weather isnât cooperative, supplements prescribed by your physician might help balance the deficiency.
Finally, yes, Ayurveda usually tailors the treatment specifically to your dosha profile, so meeting an Ayurvedic practitioner might offer more precision based on pulse diagnosis or deeper insights - but what weâve discussed is a solid base. Results through natural remedies like these typically take a few weeks to a few months. Itâs gradual, but lasting.
Consider reaching out to a professional for personalized diagnostics if it carries on. In the meantime, try practicing patience and communicate openly with your partner. Often, understanding and support can be super healing in themselves. Hang in there, you got this!
