The success of the treatment depends, to a large extent, on the patient's commitment and the involvement of the professional team.
Depending on the cause of premature ejaculation, premature ejaculation may be treated by can be treated with medication, psychological counseling, sexual techniques that delay ejaculation, pelvic floor toning or a combination of these elements.
The treatment of primary premature ejaculation is usually more complex given its neurobiological component, and requires a great deal of involvement on the part of the man, the health professional, and often the "patient's" partner.
In this case, the cornerstone of treatment is pharmacological treatment, either topical or oral, accompanied by sex therapy, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and anxiety and arousal control.
In the case of secondary premature ejaculation, the more treatable the cause is, the better the treatment will work. Treating urinary problems, erectile dysfunction or accompaniment during a stressful life phase are often sufficient to improve mild cases. In more advanced cases, multimodal treatment will be necessary, combining sex therapy, pelvic floor rehabilitation, anxiety-excitation control, occasionally supported by drugs.
Regarding the different treatments, it is necessary to emphasize that multimodal treatment will achieve better results when compared to simpler strategies. We will have to adapt the treatments to the needs and desires of the patient and his partner, and to his sexual life.
As for the available treatments, they are discussed below:
In our experience the best treatment is multimodal, associating different strategies in a unified treatment. Success depends largely on the commitment of the man with premature ejaculation and the involvement of the team of health professionals who are necessary to help the person (urologist, psychologist, physiotherapist).
Finally, a brief mention should be made of surgical treatments. There is much debate about their usefulness. Post-ectomy -also called circumcision- has been postulated as a treatment for premature ejaculation, although its usefulness has not been sufficiently demonstrated. Other treatments, such as dorsal penile nerve neurotomy, are considered experimental. Recently, radiofrequency neuromodulation has achieved promising results.
Approximately up to 85% of men improve. In our experience, it depends on the level of control at the start of treatment and the commitment of the patient.
In some situations there are surgical procedures that can improve intercourse time, although you need to know the pros and cons.
Yes, premature ejaculation can produce an uncomfortable situation with our partners and negative feelings of our own. This can produce an anxious situation that undermines our erection and blocks our desire.
No. A man with premature ejaculation has the problem for months or years.
