Treatment of premature ejaculation in men
Despite the continuous practices of sex, a small group of men suffer from fertility problems and premature ejaculation due to psychological and organic reasons. In order to achieve fertility, men must produce normal sperm capable of reaching, penetrating and fertilizing the egg.
What are the causes of premature ejaculation in men?
The cause isn’t really known, but your brain chemistry could be at least partly to blame. Men who have lower levels of the chemical serotonin in their brains tend to take a shorter time to ejaculate.
Psychological factors can cause:
- Stress
- Melancholy
- Anxiety
- Feeling guilty
- Problems in the marital relationship.
- Lack of self-confidence in the patient.
- The patient’s concern about his sexual performance.
- Negative feelings about the idea of sex (sexual repression).
There can be physical causes that cause premature ejaculation:
- Irregular hormone levels.
- Irregular levels of neurotransmitters (an imbalance of chemicals in a patient’s brain that transmit messages or impulses to the rest of the body)
- Inflammation or infection of the prostate or urethra (the tube that runs from the bladder and takes urine out of the body)
- Sometimes premature ejaculation is associated with patients who have erectile dysfunction.
What are the most important techniques used to treat premature ejaculation in men?
95% of men are treated with behavioral techniques that help control ejaculation:
Stop and start: You or your partner stimulate your penis until you feel like you’re going to have an orgasm. Hold off the arousal for about 30 seconds or until the feeling passes. Start the stimulation again and repeat three or four times before ejaculating.
Pressure: works in the same way as the start and stop method. But, when you feel yourself reaching an orgasm, you or your partner will squeeze the head of your penis until you lose the erection. Repeat this several times before ejaculating.
Some men find that if they think about something else during sex, they can last longer.
If the previous methods don’t work, you can try a few other things:
Strengthen your muscles: Weak pelvic floor muscles sometimes contribute to PE. Kegel exercises may help strengthen them. Find the right muscles to tighten by stopping the urine midstream. Hold them firmly for 3 seconds and then let them sit for 3 seconds. Do this 10 times, at least three times a day.
Wearing a condom: It may desensitize you enough so that the patient can last longer.
Masturbating before intercourse: Some men find that masturbating a few hours before sex helps them maintain control during intercourse.
Seeking psychological counseling: A psychiatrist or psychiatrist can help you work through issues such as depression, anxiety, or stress that may be contributing to your priapism.
Medications used to treat premature ejaculation:
Antidepressants: A side effect of some selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is a delay in orgasm. But these medications also have side effects, including nausea and drowsiness. They can also throw a wet blanket over your desire for sex. Therefore, you are likely to substitute one problem for another. You and your doctor will decide what is right for you.
Tramadol: It is a pain reliever that can delay ejaculation. It may be prescribed if antidepressants do not help. This medication is addictive, so it may not be an option for you.
Numbing creams or sprays: You put them on the tip of your penis to make them less sensitive. Leave it for 30 minutes. They should be washed before sex so you don’t lose your erection or cause your partner to lose sensation.
Erectile dysfunction medications: These medications may also help men maintain an erection. They include sildenafil citrate (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), or vardenafil hydrochloride (Levitra).
What are the desired results from the treatment?
The desired results of treating premature ejaculation in a patient vary according to the patient’s condition causing premature ejaculation, after the doctor examines the patient and requests the analyzes and investigations that the patient needs.
How long does the patient stay healthy after treatment?
In most cases, a man recovers permanently from premature ejaculation, after knowing the reason behind this problem, and it is possible that a relapse occurs in some cases.
Side effects of premature ejaculation in men
Erectile dysfunction pills can cause a range of side effects, depending on the type of medication, which are:
- Headache.
- Heart palpitations in the patient.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Sleep disorders.
- Changes in vision.
- Back ache.
- Hearing changes.
- Erection pain.
- The continuation of the erection for more than 4 hours.
What is the expected time for the results of the treatment to appear?
Medications that delay premature ejaculation in men require a period of time ranging from 10-21 days until their results appear on the man.
