Premature ejaculation (PE) treatment is mainly based on a diagnostic tool which examines the following 4 factors:
- Ability to delay ejaculation
- Ability to control ejaculation
- Amount of stimulation needed for ejaculation
- Degree of psychological involvement with the problem
If you suffer from this problem, the first 3 factors are usually treatable with medication. The 4th one, however, is more to do with your attitude to sex than with your body. Priligy dapoxetine, an antidepressant-turned-PE drug, may help you take care of the first 3 factors, and allow you to last longer in bed.
How do I begin PE treatment?
Talking with your partner is often the first decisive step toward PE treatment. Remember that your partner is the worst victim when you suffer from premature ejaculation. In PE, you can achieve orgasm even if you ejaculate within 1-2 minutes, but your partner can’t. So talk with her and fix an appointment with your doctor. Based on your response to the 4 factors mentioned earlier, your doctor may recommend Priligy for you. It is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drug that works by delaying the chemical exchange between the brain and the penis.
Is premature ejaculation cure possible only by medication?
No. Kegel exercises, also known as Kegels, can increase the strength of your pubococcygeus (PC) muscles and help you control your ejaculatory reflexes better. You can also try squeezing the tip of your penis as you are about to ejaculate, and then releasing the pressure after 10 seconds. This exercise can help you delay premature ejaculation.
Another way to delay ejaculation during sexual intercourse is to masturbate an hour or so before sex. It can reduce your orgasmic excitement and help you approach sex with a relaxed mind, which can effectively increase your stamina and ability to delay ejaculation.
