psychosocial stress can increase the prolactin hormone in your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high level of prolactin in the body can also block ejaculation, resulting in DE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increased prolactin levels can also cause reduced sex drive, low testosterone levels, Erectile Dysfunction, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychological factors contributing to DE include Anxiety, stress, relationship

certain medications, hormonal imbalances, neurological disorders, anatomical abnormalities, or previous surgeries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain blood pressure medicines might cause Delayed Ejaculation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may affect the ejaculatory response and potentially increase the time required to reach orgasm and ejaculate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hormonal disbalance is also known as one of the causes of Delayed Ejaculation and is often caused due to Fatigue and sleep disorders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previous surgeries, particularly those involving the genitourinary
