Premature Ejaculation and Erectile Dysfunction: What's the Difference and Can They Occur Together?
Premature ejaculation is ejaculation that happens much earlier than desired and without control. Erectile dysfunction, on the other hand, is when a sufficient erection does not occur or cannot be maintained. They are different problems but often occur together. When they do, specialists usually recommend treating the erectile dysfunction first, because premature ejaculation is often a result of anxiety about losing the erection.
