Opóźniona ejakulacja
Etiologia i przyczyny
Opóźniona ejakulacja to zaburzenie seksualne charakteryzujące się znacznym opóźnieniem lub brakiem ejakulacji pomimo odpowiedniej stymulacji. Etiologia jest wieloczynnikowa, obejmująca zarówno przyczyny organiczne, jak i psychospołeczne, które często współistnieją i wzajemnie się nasilają. Do przyczyn organicznych należą zaburzenia neurologiczne (np. udar mózgu, stwardnienie rozsiane, neuropatia cukrzycowa), zaburzenia hormonalne (niedoczynność tarczycy, hipogonadyzm, hiperprolaktynemia, choroba Cushinga), schorzenia układu moczowo-płciowego (operacje prostaty, przewlekłe zapalenie prostaty, wytrysk wsteczny), a także wady wrodzone, choroby serca, urazy miednicy oraz zaawansowany wiek (powyżej 50. roku życia). Wiek wiąże się ze zmniejszeniem wrażliwości nerwów prącia, obniżeniem poziomu testosteronu oraz redukcją objętości ejakulatu, co może skutkować przytępionym doświadczeniem orgazmu.
Etiologia opóźnionej ejakulacji
Opóźniona ejakulacja jest zaburzeniem seksualnym charakteryzującym się znacznym opóźnieniem lub niezdolnością do osiągnięcia ejakulacji mimo odpowiedniej stymulacji seksualnej. Etiologia tego zaburzenia jest złożona i wieloczynnikowa, obejmująca zarówno przyczyny organiczne, jak i psychospołeczne12. Patofizjologia opóźnionej ejakulacji nie jest jeszcze w pełni poznana, pomimo wielu publikacji na ten temat34. Co istotne, czynniki etiologiczne zarówno psychogenne, jak i organiczne nie są ani niezależne, ani wzajemnie się wykluczające – często nakładają się na siebie i wzajemnie oddziałują, a ich efekty patologiczne mogą różnić się u poszczególnych pacjentów56.
Opóźniona ejakulacja może być problemem chwilowym lub towarzyszyć mężczyźnie przez całe życie78. Warto podkreślić, że wielu mężczyzn doświadcza problemów z opóźnioną ejakulacją wraz z wiekiem9. U niektórych osób taki stan może wystąpić nagle po okresie normalnego funkcjonowania seksualnego, a u innych może występować od początku aktywności seksualnej10.
Przyczyny fizyczne i organiczne
Wśród przyczyn organicznych opóźnionej ejakulacji można wyróżnić szereg czynników fizycznych, które wpływają na mechanizm ejakulacji11:
Zaburzenia neurologiczne
Zaburzenia neurologiczne, zarówno funkcjonalne, jak i organiczne, które wpływają na mózg i rdzeń kręgowy, mogą powodować opóźnioną ejakulację, w zależności od poziomu i zakresu patologii12. Do najważniejszych należą:
- Udar mózgu1314
- Stwardnienie rozsiane1516
- Neuropatia cukrzycowa1718
- Uszkodzenie rdzenia kręgowego1920
- Uszkodzenie nerwów miednicy2122
Zaburzenia hormonalne
Chociaż regulacja hormonalna wszystkich aspektów męskiej reprodukcji jest dobrze poznana, rola kontroli endokrynologicznej procesu ejakulacji nie jest jeszcze w pełni wyjaśniona23. Zaburzenia hormonalne mogą obejmować:
- Niski poziom hormonu tarczycy (niedoczynność tarczycy)2425
- Niski poziom testosteronu (hipogonadyzm)2627
- Hiperprolaktynemia – zwiększony poziom prolaktyny związany jest zarówno ze zmniejszonym pożądaniem seksualnym, jak i zmniejszoną zdolnością do osiągnięcia orgazmu u mężczyzn2829
- Choroba Cushinga3031
Schorzenia i procedury urologiczne
Różne schorzenia i zabiegi w obrębie układu moczowo-płciowego mogą prowadzić do opóźnionej ejakulacji:
- Operacje prostaty, w tym przezcewkowa resekcja prostaty lub usunięcie prostaty3233
- Infekcje, takie jak zakażenie dróg moczowych, zapalenie gruczołu krokowego3435
- Przewlekłe zapalenie prostaty i zespół przewlekłego bólu miednicy36
- Wytrysk wsteczny – stan, w którym nasienie cofa się do pęcherza moczowego zamiast wydostawać się przez penisa37
Inne przyczyny organiczne
Do innych przyczyn organicznych opóźnionej ejakulacji można zaliczyć:
- Wady wrodzone wpływające na układ rozrodczy3839, w tym torbiel przewodu Müllera, nieprawidłowości przewodu Wolffa, zespół wiotkiego brzucha, zarośnięty odbyt, wrodzona niedrożność przewodu wytryskowego, nieprawidłowości genetyczne, w tym mukowiscydoza40
- Choroby serca, które mogą wpływać na ciśnienie krwi w okolicy miednicy4142
- Zaawansowany wiek – zwiększona częstość występowania opóźnionej ejakulacji u mężczyzn powyżej 50. roku życia może być związana z utratą szybko przewodzących obwodowych nerwów czuciowych związaną z wiekiem, a także z redukcją wydzielania steroidów płciowych związaną z wiekiem43
- Traumy w obrębie miednicy lub narządów płciowych44
Przyczyny psychologiczne
Istnieje wiele czynników psychologicznych i relacyjnych, które tradycyjnie są wskazywane jako predysponujące i/lub pogłębiające czynniki w etiologii opóźnionej ejakulacji4546:
Czynniki osobiste
- Depresja, lęk lub inne zaburzenia zdrowia psychicznego4748
- Lęk przed wynikiem (performance anxiety)4950
- Niskie poczucie własnej wartości i negatywny obraz ciała5152
- Strach przed utratą kontroli5354
- Strach przed porzuceniem/odrzuceniem5556
- Strach przed intymnością i utratą autonomii5758
Czynniki relacyjne
- Problemy w związku wynikające ze stresu, słabej komunikacji lub innych obaw5960
- Brak atrakcyjności partnera6162
- Wrogość i gniew6364
- Rozbieżność między rzeczywistością seksu z partnerem a fantazjami seksualnymi6566
Czynniki kulturowe i religijne
- Tabu kulturowe lub religijne6768
- Masters i Johnson jako pierwsi stwierdzili, że opóźniona ejakulacja u niektórych mężczyzn może być związana z ortodoksją przekonań religijnych. Takie zakazy mogą ograniczać doświadczenie seksualne mężczyzny niezbędne do nauki ejakulacji lub mogą powodować zahamowanie normalnej funkcji6970
Inne czynniki psychologiczne
- Strach i/lub ambiwalencja dotyczące ciąży i kwestii płodności7172
- Orientacja autoseksualna – termin używany do opisania mężczyzn z opóźnioną ejakulacją, którzy preferują masturbację zamiast seksu z partnerem7374
- Traumatyczne doświadczenia seksualne7576
- Idiosynkratyczne wzorce masturbacji (techniki, których partner nie może łatwo powielić podczas aktów seksualnych)77
Wpływ leków i substancji
Zaburzenia ejakulacji, w tym opóźniona ejakulacja, mogą być skutkiem działania niepożądanego wielu leków. Różne leki mogą zakłócać centralne lub obwodowe mechanizmy kontrolujące ejakulację78. Do najważniejszych grup leków należą:
Leki psychotropowe
- Leki przeciwdepresyjne, szczególnie selektywne inhibitory wychwytu zwrotnego serotoniny (SSRI)7980
- Leki przeciwpsychotyczne8182
- Leki przeciwlękowe83
Leki urologiczne i kardiologiczne
Inne substancje
- Nadmierne spożycie alkoholu9192
- Narkotyki opioidowe9394
- Przewlekłe stosowanie kokainy, opioidów i amfetamin również zgłaszano jako wywołujące zaburzenia seksualne i anorgazmię u dużej części użytkowników95
- 3,4-Metylenodioksymetamfetamina (MDMA), powszechnie znana pod nazwą uliczną ekstazy, została powiązana zarówno z opóźnionym orgazmem, jak i anorgazmią96
Wpływ wieku i starzenia się
Starzenie się jest silnie skorelowane z zaburzeniami seksualnymi97. U starszych mężczyzn naturalna jest dłuższa ejakulacja98. Wśród czynników związanych z wiekiem, które mogą wpływać na opóźnioną ejakulację, wymienia się:
- Zmniejszenie wrażliwości nerwów prącia99
- Zmniejszenie poziomu testosteronu u starszych mężczyzn, spowalniające proces pobudzenia100
- Zmniejszenie objętości ejakulatu – ponieważ objętość ejakulatu jest zależna od androgenów, ma tendencję do zmniejszania się wraz z wiekiem, co może skutkować przytępionym doświadczeniem orgazmu u osób starszych101
Warto zauważyć, że związane z wiekiem opóźnienie ejakulacji może się nie poprawić, nawet przy zastosowaniu leczenia102.
Podsumowanie etiologii
Etiologia opóźnionej ejakulacji jest zwykle wielowymiarowa i wynika z biologicznego opóźnienia ejakulacji mężczyzny, na które wpływają liczne czynniki organiczne, biologiczne lub psychogenne w różnych kombinacjach w ciągu jego życia103104. Co istotne, doświadczenie kliniczne pokazuje, że oddzielanie przyczyn, diagnostyki i leczenia na kategorie takie jak psychogenne i biologiczne jest zbyt ograniczające. Najlepszym podejściem do zrozumienia ludzkich reakcji jest integracja, a nie izolowanie czynników biologicznych, psychologicznych, społecznych, behawioralnych i kulturowych105.
Opóźniona ejakulacja może również prowadzić do dodatkowych komplikacji psychologicznych, takich jak negatywny wpływ na samoocenę, poczucie nieadekwatności, rozczarowanie i negatywność106. Co więcej, u niektórych mężczyzn problem fizyczny, który może opóźniać ejakulację, może prowadzić do niepokoju związanego z ejakulacją podczas aktywności seksualnej. Ten niepokój z kolei może jeszcze bardziej pogorszyć problem ejakulacji107.
Tymczasowy problem z ejakulacją może powodować niepokój i depresję, co może prowadzić do nawrotu, nawet gdy podstawowa przyczyna fizyczna została rozwiązana108. Dlatego ważne jest, aby rozpoznać i leczyć nie tylko podstawową przyczynę organiczną, ale także wpływ, jaki zaburzenie ma na sferę psychiczną i relacyjną pacjenta.

Delayed ejaculation (DE) is a poorly defined and uncommon form of male sexual dysfunction, characterized by a marked delay in ejaculation or an inability to achieve ejaculation. […] The literature suggests that the pathophysiology of DE/AE is multifactorial, including both organic and psychosocial factors. […] Despite the many publications on this condition, the exact pathogenesis is not yet known. […] Many of these etiologic factors are not supported by good evidence-based data, but rather are based on case reports and case series. […] These etiological factors organic and psychogenic etiologies are neither independent nor mutually exclusive and may well interact with each other, and their pathological effects may vary between individuals. […] Ejaculation involves emission, bladder neck closure, and expulsion (ejaculation proper).

Delayed ejaculation (DE) is probably least studied, and least understood of male sexual dysfunctions, with an estimated prevalence of 14% of the male population. […] Pathophysiology of DE is multifactorial and including psychosexual-behavioral and cultural factors, disruption of ejaculatory apparatus, central and peripheral neurotransmitters, hormonal or neurochemical ejaculatory control and psychosocial factors. […] Although knowledge of the physiology of the DE has increased in the last two decade, our understanding of the different pathophysiological process of the causes of DE remains limited. […] The etiology of DE is usually multidimensional, resulting from the mans biologic ejaculatory latency being affected by multiple organic biological, or psychogenic factors in varying combinations during his life.

[…] Some medicines, certain ongoing health conditions and surgeries can cause delayed ejaculation. Other causes include substance misuse or a mental health concern, such as depression, anxiety or stress. Often, it’s due to a mix of physical and psychological concerns. […] Psychological causes of delayed ejaculation include: Depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions. Relationship problems due to stress, not communicating well or other concerns. Anxiety about performance. Poor body image. Cultural or religious taboos. Differences between the reality of sex with a partner and sexual fantasies. […] Medicines and other substances that can cause delayed ejaculation include: Some antidepressants or antipsychotics. Certain high blood pressure medicines. Certain water pills, called diuretics. Some antipsychotic medicines. Some antiseizure medicines. Too much alcohol.
- #9 Delayed Ejaculation: Causes, Diagnosis & Treatmenthttps://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22125-delayed-ejaculation
Delayed ejaculation can have physical or psychological causes. […] There are physical and psychological (mental and emotional) causes for delayed ejaculation. […] Physical causes may include conditions that affect your nervous system, such as a stroke, spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis (MS) nerve damage may also occur as a complication of diabetes or surgery. […] Psychological causes may include feeling guilty about sexual intercourse, possibly due to your upbringing or religious background. […] Many men have delayed ejaculation issues as they get older. […] Age-related delayed ejaculation may not improve, even with treatment.
- #10 Ejaculation problems | nidirecthttps://www.nidirect.gov.uk/conditions/ejaculation-problems
Delayed ejaculation can suddenly start to happen after previously having no problems, or the man may have always experienced it. It may occur in all sexual situations or only in certain situations, such as during sex but not during masturbation. When ejaculation only occurs in certain situations, there’s usually a psychological cause.
- #11 Delayed Ejaculation: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatmenthttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5756804/
On one hand, it was argued that DE may be caused by psychosexual, psychosocial, or relationship problems. On the other hand, it has been argued that DE is caused by genetic, neurobiological, endocrine, anatomic, and infectious factors, or may be drug-induced. […] The list of organic causes possibly leading to DE/AE is extensive and is outlined in Table 1, 2, 3. […] A full discussion of each factor is beyond the scope of this review. New etiologies continue to be added to the list of causes. […] Complaints of DE/AE in patients taking medications are not uncommon. […] Different medications may interfere with either central or peripheral control of ejaculation, potentially affecting the IELT. […] The significant heterogeneity in the occurrence and the presentation of SSRI-related sexual dysfunction may suggest underlying genetic factors.
- #12 The pathophysiology of delayed ejaculation – Chen – Translational Andrology and Urologyhttps://tau.amegroups.org/article/view/10617/11776
Different surgical modalities for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) are associated with variable adverse effects on ejaculatory function. […] Neurological disorders, either functional or organic, that affect the brain and spinal cord may cause DE, depending on the level and extent of the pathology. […] Although hormonal regulation of all aspects of male reproduction is well established, the role of endocrine control on the ejaculatory process is still not completely clarified. […] UTI, pelvic inflammation and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) have all been recognized as etiologic factors for EjD, including DE. […] The medical treatment for many conditions can be the reasons for DE. […] A significant number of men on medical treatment for LUTS associated with BPH report EjD.

A temporary ejaculation problem can cause anxiety and depression. This can lead to recurrence, even when the underlying physical cause has been resolved. […] Low Testosterone can contribute to DE and low testosterone supplements could help fix your DE issue. […] DE can generally be resolved by treating the mental or physical causes. Identifying and seeking treatment for DE sometimes exposes an underlying medical condition. Once this is treated, DE often resolves. […] The same is true when the underlying cause is a medication. However, don’t stop taking any medication without your doctor’s recommendation.

Hyperprolactinemia has been associated with both decreased sexual desire and a decreased ability to reach orgasm in males. […] Reportedly, the intensity of orgasm correlates with the ejaculatory volume; thus, declines in ejaculatory volume can result in reduced sexual pleasure. Because ejaculate volume is androgen-dependent, it tends to decrease with age, and this decrease may result in a blunted orgasm experience in the elderly. […] The increased frequency of delayed ejaculation in men older than 50 years may be associated with age-related loss of fast-conducting peripheral sensory nerves, as well as with age-related reduction in the secretion of sex steroids.

Delayed orgasm (DO) is defined as increased latency of orgasm despite adequate sexual stimulation and desire. Etiologies of DO/AO include medication-induced, psychogenic, endocrine, and genitopelvic dysesthesia. […] The most common etiologies include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI; 42%), psychogenic (28%), low testosterone (T; 21%), abnormal penile sensation (7%), and penile hyperstimulation (2%). […] Given the fundamental role of hormonal regulation in the physiology of orgasm, multiple endocrinopathies have been identified in patients with DO. […] Hyperprolactinemia also leads to DO as increased levels of prolactin (PRL) result in suppression of T production. […] Psychogenic DO results from feelings of fear, anxiety, hostility, relationship difficulties associated with sexual intercourse and encounters.

Delayed ejaculation refers to a difficulty or inability of a male to reach an orgasm and ejaculate semen. Both physical and psychological issues can cause someone to be unable to climax. […] Delayed ejaculation can have a psychological or biological cause. There can also be an overlap between the two. It can be a lifelong condition, where a person has always had difficulty reaching an orgasm. […] Physical causes of delayed ejaculation include the following: Medication side effects can be a reason. Delayed ejaculation may be an adverse effect of: antidepressants, especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), antianxiety drugs, blood pressure medication, painkillers, other medications. […] Some psychological factors that may contribute to delayed ejaculation include: early life history, including abuse, difficulties bonding, neglect by parents, or a negative sexual upbringing, unexpressed anger, inability to enjoy pleasure, religious belief, perhaps that sexual activity is a sin, fear of, for instance, semen or female genitalia, or fear of somehow hurting or defiling a partner through ejaculation, fear of pregnancy, issues of lost confidence or performance anxiety for example, anxiety about body image that interrupts the process of sexual stimulation.

- #69 The pathophysiology of delayed ejaculationhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5002008/
There are many psychological and relational factors that have been traditionally implicated as predisposing and/or confounding factors in the etiology of DE, such as fear and/or ambivalence regarding pregnancy and fertility issues, hostility and anger, fear of loss of control, fears of abandonment/rejection, fears of intimacy and loss of autonomy, paraphilic inclinations/interests, and fears of hurting/defiling the partner. […] Masters and Johnson were the first to claim that DE in some men might be associated with orthodoxy of a religious belief. Such prohibitions may limit the males sexual experience necessary for learning to ejaculate or may result in an inhibition of normal function.

[…] The pathophysiology of DE in relation to congenital abnormalities is complex and is dependent upon anatomical variations of the pelvic floor and the physiological functioning of the organs located into the pelvic floor. […] Acquired or secondary DE is the result of an identifiable surgical procedure, a different medical condition or psychosexual changes. It may affect ejaculation by a variety of ways, such as via disruption of the chemical or nervous control of ejaculation, or directly at the site of the ejaculatory organs themselves.

For some men, there may be additional psychological issues that underlie an ejaculatory dysfunction. For example, there may be issues of performance anxiety related to infertility, fears of rejection or the desire to please a partner. Early psychological trauma can also be a significant factor. If sexual abuse of the man has occurred, these can have a direct correlation to the sexual dysfunction itself. […] Delayed ejaculation carries with it issues of inability to achieve orgasm and infertility. Anti-depressants or agents which act centrally such as Valium, anti-hypertensives and alcohol abuse all can affect this. […] A common cause is pudendal neuropathy, caused by a crush to the perineum such as from bike riding with a narrow saddle. If the delayed ejaculation is situational it is probably psychologic; if it is generalized the problem is probably biologic.
