Finishing too early (premature ejaculation, shighrapatan)
Finishing too early: does this sound like you?
Premature ejaculation (shighrapatan, or jaldi discharge) means finishing sooner than you or your partner want, again and again. It is one of the commonest concerns men bring to a doctor.1 An occasional quick finish, after a long gap or with someone new, is common and is not a disorder.
Urgent signs: finishing early is not an emergency, but severe sudden genital pain, an injury or not being able to pass urine needs care today. The full list is under “When it should not wait”.
- You finish sooner than you want, most of the time, and cannot seem to hold back.
- You have started worrying before intimacy even begins.
- You rush sex, or avoid it, because of what might happen.

What premature ejaculation is, and what it is not
Premature ejaculation (PE) is ejaculation that repeatedly happens earlier than you want, with little sense of control, and that causes distress or avoidance.2 Doctors look at three things together: timing, control and how much it bothers you. A stopwatch number alone does not define it.
"Pre ejaculation" can also mean the clear fluid that appears before ejaculation (pre-ejaculate), which is normal and a different matter.
| It is | It is not |
|---|---|
| A repeated pattern, present from your first experiences or starting later2 | One quick finish after alcohol, a long gap or a new relationship |
| Often a mix of sensitivity, anxiety and habit | A verdict on your body or your worth |
| A health concern that can be discussed openly | Nightfall, erection difficulty or worry about semen loss |
If the trouble is getting an erection quickly or keeping it, rather than finishing early, weak or unreliable erections fits better.

When it should not wait
Finishing early is usually not an emergency. These patterns are different.
Urgent signs
Get in-person care now if:
- there is severe sudden genital or pelvic pain, an injury, marked swelling, or you cannot pass urine;
- a painful erection lasts about four hours;
- the distress is so heavy that you feel you might harm yourself.
Arrange a prompt medical review if:
- it began suddenly after a new medicine, a procedure or an illness;
- there is blood in semen or urine, discharge from the penis, burning or fever;
- it comes with new erection or desire changes.1
How Dr. Sharma assesses it
The assessment is a one-to-one conversation. No photographs are needed, and an examination, if one is useful, is explained before it starts.
- The pattern. Present from the start or new; every time or only sometimes; with a partner, alone or both; how much control you feel; how much it worries you.
- What surrounds it. Erection changes, since worry about losing an erection can make men hurry ; anxiety, sleep, alcohol, tobacco and pressure at work or at home.
- Health and medicines. Thyroid symptoms, burning or pain in the urinary or prostate area, and the medicines you take (do not stop one on your own). 2
- Tests only when useful. For example a urine test if there is burning, or a thyroid test if symptoms suggest it. Why a test is suggested is explained before you decide. A video consultation covers the history and guidance; an examination needs a visit.
- Options and a review date. What is likely going on, what can help and what will not, and when to check in.
Treatment for premature ejaculation: what it can and cannot promise
Shighrapatan ka ilaj, the treatment for finishing too early, is planned after the assessment above, because a pattern present from the start and one that began later need different questions. Many men gain more control once they understand their own pattern. Treatment for premature (or early) ejaculation usually combines techniques you can practise, easing the worry around sex, and treating any physical cause that is found.
- The aim is control and less worry, not a number of minutes. Follow-up asks how much control you feel and how much it still bothers you.
- Techniques that suit your pattern. Some men are helped by learning to notice rising arousal, pelvic-floor (Kegel) exercises and slow breathing, taught for their situation. Done badly, practice can add pressure. 2
- Within scope, or referred. Ayurvedic treatment, routine and diet guidance when they fit; conventional treatment or a specialist when they do not.
- What to expect. For some men the pattern returns in stressful phases, and the plan is adjusted then.
- How long it takes. Decided after assessment, so no timeline is given before it.
- Pills, tablets and sprays. No premature ejaculation medicine, pill, spray or shighrapatan ki dawa suits every pattern, so there is no single best medicine for premature ejaculation. Ayurvedic medicine for premature ejaculation, when it fits, is matched after assessment, and this page names no product or dose.
If you have already tried a delay spray or a shop remedy such as shilajit, bring the box. Numbing sprays can numb a partner too unless washed off or a condom is used, can irritate the skin, and are unsuitable if you react to local anaesthetics. 3

Questions before you book
How quick is "too quick"?
There is no single number. Guidelines use approximate times for research, but in the consultation what matters is how much control you feel and how much it bothers you.2
Full answer
Excitement, a long gap, tiredness, alcohol or a new partner can all make one experience quicker; a repeated pattern with little control, and worry about it, is what is worth assessing.
Will it go away completely?
No one can honestly promise that before assessing you. For many men control improves a great deal; for some it becomes something they manage well, with easier and harder phases.
Did masturbation cause it?
No. Ordinary masturbation does not damage the body. A long habit of hurrying, or guilt and anxiety around sex, can play a part, and that can be worked on.
Full answer
The wider question is answered in Does masturbation cause weakness?.
What is shighrapatan, and what does premature ejaculation mean in Hindi?
Shighrapatan (शीघ्रपतन) is the Hindi word for premature ejaculation, meaning finishing too early, often called jaldi discharge.
Full answer
It is the same concern this page describes: a repeated pattern with little control that bothers you. For the classical Ayurvedic meaning, see Shighrapatan: the term and its two views.
Can premature ejaculation be treated, in Ludhiana or by video?
Many men are helped by treatment, depending on their pattern.
Full answer
A first conversation can be by video. If an examination or a test is needed, you will be told and offered a visit in Ludhiana. The clinic is only in Ludhiana; for what to check when choosing a doctor, see choosing a sexual-health doctor in Ludhiana.
Do Kegel exercises help premature ejaculation?
They may help some men. Pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises strengthen the muscles used to hold back ejaculation, and they are safe to try.
Full answer
They work best alongside techniques such as stop-start, which the consultation explains.1
I am getting married soon. Should I get this checked first?
If it is on your mind, yes. Worry before marriage is common, and a private conversation usually brings it down to its real size.
Full answer
Nerves with a new partner often settle. If a pattern continues, it can be assessed, and a partner can join later if you both wish.
Why it happens
Two kinds of pattern. Doctors separate premature ejaculation that has been present since your first sexual experiences from a pattern that began later.2 A later change makes the doctor look for something new: erection worry, a thyroid or prostate problem, a medicine or a stressful phase. 3
What can contribute. Usually more than one thing12:
- Sensitivity and reflexes: some men's ejaculation reflex simply runs quicker.
- Anxiety and habit: worry about the next time, or years of hurrying, can keep the pattern going.
- Erection worry: fear of losing an erection can make men rush.
A common myth. "A stronger tablet is the answer." A shop remedy chosen without assessment can add side effects without touching the cause.
The Ayurvedic word. Ayurveda calls this śīghrapatana, from śīghra, quick. It is discussed with vāta, the mind and śukra dhātu, as a way of reading the pattern, not as a diagnosis on its own.
