Struggling with Premature Ejaculation - Need Ayurvedic Advice 😓

Question

It’s 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. I’m 34 years old, married for 6 years, and lately, I’ve been facing issues with premature ejaculation. It’s become so frequent now that it’s affecting my relationship with my wife. She tries to be supportive, but I can tell she’s disappointed sometimes.

This issue started about a year ago. At first, I thought it was stress from work (I work in sales, and it’s super demanding), but even during weekends or vacations when I should feel relaxed, the problem doesn’t go away. It’s 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. I’m 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. I’ve 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 don’t know where to start. Another friend said Ayurveda has treatments for these kinds of issues. I’ve never tried Ayurvedic remedies before, but I’m 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. 😔

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.
