Patient's question:
Alwayss, premature ejaculation has deeply troubled me, and I haven't dared to find a partner or tell others about it. It's been very painful, but after being single for a long time, others have started to speculate whether I'm not capable. Hello, how should premature ejaculation be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are many methods for treating premature ejaculation, which can be broadly categorized into behavioral therapy, medication therapy, physical therapy, and surgical therapy. Behavioral therapy typically involves consciously controlling the frequency, intensity, hesitation, and skill during sexual intercourse. It produces particularly noticeable short-term effects but cannot provide long-term stability and is generally used as a supplementary treatment. Medication therapy can be divided into oral medications and topical medications. The main principle of oral medications is to inhibit the delayed ejaculation reflex threshold of the nervous system. Topical medications are primarily used to reduce sensitivity in sensitive areas such as the glans, corona, and frenulum. The disadvantage of medication therapy is that it cannot fundamentally solve the condition, and oral medications have certain contraindications. If topical medications are not cleaned thoroughly, they may also cause cross-infection. In severe cases, surgical treatment at a hospital may be necessary.
