Hello Ms. Priya,
Premature ejaculation can be treated after a proper evaluation to look into the specific causes. Relaxation techniques, use of condoms to reduce the sensation over the penis, altering the posture during the intercourse such as lying on the back etc., can be tried. IUI can be tried if natural methods fail after trying seriously to get pregnant for six months. It is a single sitting outpatient procedure, done on the day of ovulation with a concentrated sample. Ovulation inducing medications may be used prior to this and hence, multiple pregnancy is a possibility. There is also a slight chance of infection. The success rate can be up to 20 percent in a single cycle. Hope this helps.
