    Diagnosis<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiagnosis is based mainly on a detailed medical history. The doctor may ask about the duration of ejaculation, the perceived degree of control, frequency of episodes, and the emotional and relational impact of the condition. There are no specific laboratory tests for diagnosing PE, but additional evaluations may be conducted to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
