Have a nice day!

There are different treatment options available for treating premature ejaculation. However, people want to know if they are beneficial and work for everyone. Therefore, we have listed some important pieces of evidence to support that PE treatment works.

Men have had to deal with the consequences of premature ejaculation since time immemorial. Unlike erectile dysfunction which tends to get worse with age, PE does not discriminate – it affects men of all age brackets from all walks of life. Premature ejaculation is humiliating. It is probably safe to say that when a man finds himself suffering from premature ejaculation the sense of devastation is greater than that which he feels when knowing that he has a problem with erectile dysfunction. After all, premature ejaculation is not something that is as commonly experienced by most men, unlike the case with erectile dysfunction.

It incapacitates a man as far as performance in the bedroom is concerned. Its effects are so embarrassing that a guy who experiences them will do everything possible to stay clear of sex. Thankfully, you need not die of shame or avoid sexual intercourse just because you have lost control of your ejaculation. In this modern age, there are already so many options to choose from when it comes to premature ejaculation treatments. Ever right now new methods that will be more effective are continually being developed.

Many people have relied on various PE treatments to regain their ejaculatory control. Let’s look at some of these treatments as well as scientific evidence of their effectiveness.

One popular method of medication is SSRI or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. This medication is actually a type of antidepressant. It is typically used to treat patients with severe depression symptoms. However, it is also sometimes used to treat premature ejaculation. This method raises the serotonin level I produced by the brain by inhibiting its absorption back into the nerve cells.

By inhibiting its reabsorption, the body then has more serotonin levels. This then creates better moods and a greater sense of relaxation which is useful in treating patients with a premature ejaculation problem. After all, premature ejaculation is typically caused by over-excitement, thus the man cannot control his ejaculation.

The use of SSRIs is known to cause adverse reactions including secondary anejaculation and delayed ejaculation. It, therefore, explains why Serotonergic antidepressants come in handy in the management of premature ejaculation.

In a 1997 research study, 58 percent of patients who were using SSRI treatment had varying forms of sexual dysfunctions.

The same study established that SSRIs such as sertraline, paroxetine, and fluoxetine were safe options for managing premature ejaculation.

The American Urology Association recommended the use of serotonergic antidepressants as the most preferred treatment for individuals with PE emanating from psychological factors.

Schapiro published the first report in 1943 about the use of a topical anesthetic to treat premature ejaculation. He successfully utilized a 3 percent dibucaine solution to treat 33 patients of PE.

Today, the market is flooded with commercial topical preparations which are in many instances indicated for local analgesic uses rather than the treatment of premature ejaculation.

When it comes to oral pharmacological treatments, and as already mentioned earlier, SSRIs cause adverse effects on the ejaculatory control of the user. Even though they treat premature ejaculation, SSRIs may lead to delayed ejaculation.

However, just recently, a new SSRI was developed. Known as dapoxetine, this SSRI gets absorbed and cleared quickly.

Apparently, it increases IELT (intravaginal ejaculation latency time) by a factor of between two and a half and three minutes. Other benefits include limited and easy to tolerate side effects. As such, it is an appropriate treatment option for premature ejaculation in on-demand cases.

These are just some of the treatment options available to PE patients. Optimal management of PE should be individualized. It should be based on the symptoms a patient exhibits, their expectations, as well as the underlying cause.

The majority of lifelong PE patients require pharmacotherapy, and if possible, it should be combined with psychosexual counseling. This is mainly due to the neurobiology etiology involved and for the counseling, due to the impact premature ejaculation has on the relationship of the couples.

Many experts have also contended that the primary cause of premature ejaculation may actually be psychological rather than physiological. However, even with that said experts and doctors have not been able to reach a uniform agreement as to what causes premature ejaculation in the first place. Further studies are required to find the most suitable treatment options that would carry the least amount of adverse side effects.

As far as acquired PE is concerned, the most appropriate treatment should be etiologically motivated (based on causation). If a guy with acquired PE has erectile problems, pharmacotherapy may be used alongside etiological specific treatment techniques.

Some of the treatment options mentioned above may not be the most common things for the layman as they contain many technical words, but it is alright if you are just a layman trying to find a cure to your issue with premature ejaculation.

To make sense of all this, speak to your doctor. He will make you understand everything you need to about the management of PE.

Add-on - The Evidence That Premature Ejaculation Treatments Work

Men dealing with premature ejaculation, irrespective of the severity, must not suffer in silence. As long as you are able to get out of your cocoon and seek help, hope is not lost.

There are various treatments for premature ejaculation ranging from behavioral techniques to therapies with professional counselors/sex therapist as well as medical solutions.

Of utmost importance is to first come to terms with your current situation and admit that you need assistance. Below is just a little proof that PE treatments work.

A meta-analysis of 79 studies published between 1943 and 2003 revealed that antidepressants have the potential to delay ejaculation. Since their introduction, SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) have revolutionized PE treatment.

A topical anesthetic known as EMLA cream has since been evaluated as a PE treatment option. A research study published in BJU International showed a significant improvement of individuals who used EMLA cream to treat PE originating from penile hypersensitivity.
