For diagnosing hypothyroid, TSH stimulation test(in which gives you synthetic TRH to see if the pituitary responds)won't give you a good conclusion,or FT3 is the best exam for this purpose?
Ejaculation during sex occurs from a balance of triggering and stimulating signals in the brain.

Ejactulation is triggered when the sympathetic nervous system's output of norepinephrine outweighs the other inhibiting factors.

The sympathetic nervous system is the fight-or-flight part of the nervous system. When activated, people feel stressed or anxious or angry.

Serotonin and dopamine can both reduce norepinephrine production.

A low serotonin state can lead to premature ejaculation.

A low dopamine state can lead to premature ejaculation.

Low testosterone can lead to low dopamine levels.
