Patient's question:
Had sexual problems since a young age, and quite frequently, not sure if it was due to sexual activity. Now, during sexual intercourse, it's not working anymore. Every time, as soon as I enter, I lose control and release prematurely. My wife heard from someone that lidocaine can treat premature ejaculation and bought it. Can lidocaine really treat premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic. For patients with premature ejaculation, if lidocaine is applied to the glans, it can numb the nerves on the surface of the glans. This can shorten the duration of sexual activity and treat premature ejaculation. However, during sexual activity, the male patient will not feel anything because the glans has been anesthetized, resulting in no pleasure from sexual activity and unable to enjoy the joy of love.
