Top 7 Herbs as Ayurvedic Medicine for Premature Ejaculation

Premature Ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual dysfunction in men. About one in three men between the ages of 18 and 59 experiences PE at some point.  In this article, we will discuss the causes of PE, the Ayurvedic view of PE, and ayurvedic medicine for premature ejaculation in detail.

What Is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature Ejaculation (PE) is characterized by ejaculation in men before / immediately after penetration or before he / his partner would like.

PE is one of the most common male sexual dysfunctions. It is affecting on average 40% of men worldwide. Its prevalence is on the rise in men from the Indian subcontinent. Frequently occurring PE may lead to less enjoyable sex and cause troubles in the relationship. It can result in fertility issues, embarrassment, anxiety, and depression.

Though the exact cause is not known, anxiety, stress, and fear are some of the main factors of PE. 

Premature Ejaculation: Ayurvedic Perspective

As per Ayurved, ejaculation is controlled by the Vata dosha. Vitiation of Vata (especially Apana Vata that resides in the reproductive organs) leads to PE. A psychological, emotional factor of nervousness, fear, or anxiety may be involved, but these are also due to the aggravated Vata dosha.

‘Shukragata vata’, a condition described in Ayurved, has similarities with premature ejaculation.  Ayurvedic texts have used terms like ‘Kshipram munchati’, ‘shukrasya sheeghram utsargam’, ‘pravritti/Atiseeghra pravritti’ to describe classical features of ‘shukragata vata’ denoting early, quick, or premature ejaculation.
