Effective Treatments and Solutions for Premature Ejaculation (PE)
Premature ejaculation (PE), also known as rapid or early ejaculation, is one of the most common sexual health concerns among men in Australia, affecting approximately 21-31% at some stage in their lives. If you're among those experiencing PE, it's important to know you're not alone and that proven, effective treatments are available.
What is Premature Ejaculation (PE)?
Premature ejaculation is defined as ejaculation that occurs sooner than desired during sexual activity, causing distress or frustration. PE can be lifelong (occurring since first sexual experiences) or acquired (developing later in life).
Causes of Premature Ejaculation
Understanding the underlying causes of PE can guide effective treatment:
Lifelong PE:
Irregular hormone levels (e.g., low testosterone)
Chemical imbalances in the brain (e.g., serotonin or dopamine)
Hypersensitivity of penile nerves
Infections or swelling of the prostate or urethra
Underlying erectile dysfunction (ED)
Acquired PE:
Performance anxiety, guilt, or excitement
Relationship difficulties
Stress (personal or professional)
Mental health issues (e.g., anxiety, depression)
Impact on Masculinity and Relationships
Research highlights that sexual dysfunctions such as PE can significantly affect men's sense of masculinity, leading to embarrassment, decreased self-worth, depression, and fear of stigma. It can also strain relationships, leading to intimacy avoidance and communication difficulties.
When Should You Seek Professional Help?
If PE is regularly affecting your sexual wellbeing or causing stress and impacting your relationships, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional. Effective treatments and support strategies can significantly enhance your quality of life and relationships.
Best Comprehensive Treatments for Premature Ejaculation
At Restorative Health Clinic, we believe in using combination therapies for the best outcomes, often integrating several of these treatments tailored to individual needs.
Several proven treatment approaches are available to manage PE:
Behavioural Techniques:
Stop-Start Technique: Interrupting stimulation to delay ejaculation.
Squeeze Technique: Gently squeezing the penis when nearing climax.
Pelvic Floor Exercises (Kegel Exercises): Strengthening pelvic muscles to enhance ejaculatory control.
Medical Treatments:
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): Medications such as dapoxetine specifically designed to delay ejaculation.
Topical Anaesthetics: Creams or sprays containing lidocaine or prilocaine to reduce penile sensitivity.
Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) Inhibitors: Drugs like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis), beneficial especially when combined with other treatments.
Tramadol: An analgesic occasionally used when other treatments are ineffective, under medical supervision due to its potential for dependence.
Counselling and Psychological Therapies:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Addressing psychological contributors to PE.
Couples Therapy: Improving communication and addressing relational factors.
Alternative Therapies:
Acupuncture: Suggested to prolong ejaculation in some studies.
Herbal Supplements: Often marketed for PE, though effectiveness varies and requires professional consultation.
Lifestyle Modifications:
Regular Exercise: Particularly high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to enhance sexual health.
Stress Management: Techniques such as mindfulness and relaxation.
Moderating Alcohol Consumption and Avoiding Illicit Substances: Supporting overall sexual performance.
