Understanding Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual concerns affecting men. It's characterized by ejaculation that occurs sooner than desired, often with minimal stimulation. The good news is that effective treatments are available.
Very Common
Affects approximately 1 in 3 men at some point in their lives
Treatable
Multiple effective treatment options available with high success rates
Proven Results
Clinical evidence shows significant improvement with proper treatment
Types of Premature Ejaculation
Lifelong (Primary)
Present since first sexual experiences. Often has biological causes and responds well to treatment.
Acquired (Secondary)
Develops after a period of normal sexual function. May be related to psychological factors, medical conditions, or relationship issues.
Treatment Options
Our GPs can recommend a personalized treatment plan that may include:
Topical Treatments
Desensitizing creams or sprays that reduce penile sensitivity, allowing for longer duration before ejaculation.
- Applied shortly before intercourse
- Fast-acting with minimal side effects
- Can be used as needed
Oral Medications
Certain medications, particularly SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), can help delay ejaculation.
- Daily or on-demand options available
- Proven effectiveness in clinical trials
- Can significantly increase ejaculatory latency time
Behavioral Techniques
Evidence-based techniques that can be practiced alone or with a partner.
- Start-stop technique
- Squeeze technique
- Pelvic floor exercises
- Mindfulness and relaxation strategies
Combination Therapy
Often, the most effective approach combines medication with behavioral techniques for optimal, long-lasting results.
What to Expect from Treatment
- Most men see improvement within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment
- Combination approaches often provide the best outcomes
- Treatment is adjusted based on your response and preferences
- Many men experience lasting improvement even after stopping medication
- Communication with your partner can enhance treatment success
When to Seek Help
You should consider seeking treatment if premature ejaculation:
- Occurs frequently or consistently
- Causes distress or frustration for you or your partner
- Leads to avoiding sexual intimacy
- Affects your relationship or self-confidence
- Occurs within 1-2 minutes of penetration most of the time
