The causes of premature ejaculation mainly include the following several factors. One of the more significant factors is the occurrence of psychological issues, such as high work pressure, prolonged anxiety, or dissatisfaction in sexual life. Additionally, a lack of knowledge about sexual health often leads to premature ejaculation when masturbation is frequently practiced.
