Premature Ejaculation Treatment

Premature ejaculation (PE) is when a man consistently ejaculates too quickly—usually within one minute of penetration—and struggles to control it, leading to distress or reduced sexual satisfaction. There are two types: Primary PE, which is lifelong and often linked to genetics or sensitivity, and Secondary PE, which develops later due to factors like stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or medical conditions. If early ejaculation happens frequently and affects your confidence or relationships, it may be PE—and effective treatments are available.

PE can stem from physical, psychological, or combined causes. Physical factors include glans hypersensitivity, hormonal imbalances (like low serotonin), prostatitis, nerve damage, or erectile dysfunction. Psychological causes range from performance anxiety and past negative sexual experiences to relationship issues, low self-esteem, stress, or depression. Often, both emotional and biological factors play a role. The good news is PE is highly treatable, especially when the underlying cause is identified.

At EveryDayMeds, we offer clinically proven PE treatments to help improve control and extend performance. Priligy (Dapoxetine) is a prescription oral SSRI taken 1–3 hours before sex to delay ejaculation by increasing serotonin levels. Emla Cream and STUD 100 Spray are non-prescription topical anaesthetics that reduce sensitivity by numbing the skin, helping delay climax. These treatments can be used individually or, in some cases, together under medical guidance.

All three treatments are fast-acting and clinically backed. Priligy (Dapoxetine) can increase ejaculatory time by 2–3 times, with most men feeling improved control within 1–3 hours. Emla Cream and STUD 100 take effect in about 5–10 minutes, helping reduce sensitivity and delay climax—especially effective for men with glans hypersensitivity. While results vary by individual, many men see noticeable improvements within the first few uses.

Most PE treatments are safe and well-tolerated, though mild side effects can occur. Priligy (Dapoxetine) may cause nausea, dizziness, headache, sweating, or low blood pressure—especially if taken with alcohol. Emla Cream may lead to temporary numbness or skin irritation, while STUD 100 can cause mild stinging or rare allergic reactions if overused. Always follow instructions carefully, and for topical products, wipe off excess before sex to prevent numbing your partner. Dapoxetine should not be used with other SSRIs, MAOIs, or alcohol due to increased side effect risks.

For many men, premature ejaculation improves with the right treatment, behavioral techniques, and increased confidence—especially when anxiety or relationship stress is a factor. Some use medication short-term while building control through experience or therapy, while others may benefit from longer-term use if PE has a biological cause like hypersensitivity or low serotonin. Dapoxetine and topical anaesthetics are taken as needed, not daily, offering flexibility without dependency. Combining treatment with pelvic floor exercises, breathing techniques, or psychosexual counselling can further enhance long-term control and reduce reliance on medication.
