What is delayed Ejaculation?
Delayed ejaculation is a condition where a man experiences prolonged difficulty in achieving ejaculation during sexual activity, despite adequate stimulation and arousal. It is one of the less common types of sexual dysfunction but can significantly impact a man’s confidence and relationships. Delayed ejaculation may occur occasionally or consistently and can be primary (lifelong) or secondary (acquired over time).
Dr. Roshi Satija specializes in identifying the root cause of delayed ejaculation and provides expert guidance for effective treatment, ensuring a comprehensive and personalized approach.
How common is delayed ejaculation?
Delayed ejaculation is less common compared to other sexual dysfunctions like erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. Studies suggest it affects about 1%–4% of men. However, it often goes unreported due to embarrassment or lack of awareness about treatment options.
At God’s Grace IVF and Fertility Centre, Dr. Roshi Satija creates a safe and non-judgmental environment where patients can comfortably discuss their concerns to receive proper care.
Do men have trouble ejaculating as they get older?
Yes, delayed ejaculation and other forms of ejaculatory dysfunction are more common with age. Factors contributing to this include:
- Decreased testosterone levels.
- Age-related health conditions like prostate issues.
- Side effects of medications commonly prescribed for older adults.
Dr. Roshi Satija provides age-appropriate treatments that cater to the unique needs of older men, ensuring they maintain a satisfying sexual life.
At what age do men stop ejaculating?
There isn’t a specific age when men stop ejaculating completely. However, ejaculation frequency and intensity may decline with age due to reduced testosterone levels, declining physical health, or underlying medical conditions. In most cases, ejaculation can continue well into old age with proper management.
Dr. Roshi Satija emphasizes regular health check-ups to detect and treat any age-related issues affecting ejaculatory function.
Who does delayed ejaculation affect?
Delayed ejaculation can affect men of all ages but is more prevalent in older men due to age-related health conditions and hormonal changes. It can also impact men who:
- Are on long-term medication.
- Experience high levels of stress or psychological disorders.
- Have chronic illnesses or injuries affecting reproductive health.
Dr. Roshi Satija provides customized treatment plans, addressing each patient’s specific circumstances for optimal results.

Physical Exam: To check for underlying conditions like hormonal imbalances or nerve damage.

Can Viagra® help with delayed ejaculation?

Dr. Roshi Satija evaluates each patient’s condition thoroughly to determine if medications like Viagra® can benefit their specific situation.
