Hypnotherapy helps men to address intimate issues
by Sarah Howard Recent cross European research has found that the intimate issue of premature ejaculation could have its roots in genetics.
The study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, found that men who suffer from the condition, are more likely to have atypical genetics.
The study was carried out by Dr Pekka Santtila, who worked alongside researchers from universities in Sweden and Turkey. Underlying the research was the idea that the brain neurotransmitter dopamine could determine ejaculation. Men with certain genetic differences could have differing levels of the chemical - thus affecting ejaculation.
The research was retrospective and compared itself with prior similar studies, finding that genetic effects could be linked to around 30 per cent of premature ejaculation cases.
However, NHS Choices advises that although dopamine levels do seem to have an effect on ejaculation, mental anxieties and psychological reasons are more likely to cause or exacerbate the contentious condition, concluding that more research needs to be undertaken to prove any substantial causal links.
For men suffering with this mentally debilitating condition, seeking the help from a counsellor or doctor can prove difficult. Rather than bottling the issue up, health professionals are encouraging men into overcoming anxiety that could be causing the issue, seeking the help of a clinical hypnotherapist or psychotherapist.
Anxiety hypnotherapy in particular, can help men to channel any negative thoughts surrounding relationships into more positive ones, accessing the subconscious part of the brain, which is more susceptible to suggestion. With regular sessions, men could help to address the problem on a long term basis, leading a normal sex life.
