Patient's question:
The efficacy of TCM Eucommia ulmoides in treating premature ejaculation is not good. I suggest using traditional Chinese herbs such as Poria, lotus seeds, Alisma orientale, Polygonum multiflorum, Tribulus terrestris, Cuscuta chinensis, Eucommia ulmoides, Morinda officinalis, mulberry, Rosae rugosae, hedgehog skin, sea cucumber powder, Poria cocos, Goji berries, Achyranthes bidentata, Yanggu powder, and white fish bladder for treatment.Do you have a prescription for this, or is there an over-the-counter medicine available?
Doctor's answer:
Currently, treatment for premature ejaculation is primarily based on medication. The choice of medication depends on the frequency of sexual activity. For those with less frequent sexual activity, they can take one tablet of dapoxetine orally two hours before intercourse or apply a compound lidocaine cream to the glans 20-30 minutes before intercourse. For those with more frequent sexual activity, they can take sertraline or paroxetine hydrochloride orally at 6 PM every day, continuously for three months (take one tablet at 6 PM every day in the first month, and on the days of intercourse in the second and third months).
