Premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is a common sexual health concern affecting men, characterized by the inability to delay orgasm during sexual activity. This condition can lead to reduced satisfaction for both partners and may cause psychological distress.
Typical medications used to treat premature ejaculation include:

Topical Anesthetics: These over-the-counter creams and sprays contain local anesthetics, such as lidocaine or prilocaine, which help numb the penis and delay ejaculation. Apply the product to the penis tip 30-45 minutes before sexual activity.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): Prescription medications like dapoxetine are specifically designed to treat premature ejaculation. They work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which can help improve ejaculatory control.
Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors (PDE5-Is): Medications like sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil, commonly known as erectile dysfunction treatments, may also be prescribed to treat premature ejaculation. These drugs can help improve ejaculatory control and enhance sexual performance.

Before starting any treatment, consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate medication for your needs.
