But when the man had ejaculatory control and went on to have no more, leads to examinations with a urologist and a neurologist, because most likely the cause of the problem is physical. Treatment depends on the cause: specific treatments for diseases found or diagnosed lesions, made by the urologist or neurologist, or psychotherapy (psychological treatment) to psychological problems with a psychologist or psychiatrist.
