Premature ejaculation - Symptom

Symptoms:

The man ejaculates before he or his partner would like (prematurely). This may range from before penetration to a point just after penetration. It may leave the couple feeling unsatisfied.

Signs and tests:

There usually are no abnormal findings with the condition. The health care provider can get more useful information from interviewing the person or couple.
