Various methods are available for the treatment of premature ejaculation. Depending on the patient's condition, these treatments can be applied individually or in combination.
1. Medication: Similar to medications used for erectile dysfunction, specific drugs for premature ejaculation have been developed. Dapoxetine is an example, taken 1-3 hours before sexual intercourse.
2. Exercise and Sport: Exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles play a significant role in the treatment of premature ejaculation. Kegel exercises target the urinary sphincter muscles, aiming to strengthen the muscle structure in this region. These muscles work together with the muscles that control ejaculation. Contracting these muscles when the sensation of ejaculation occurs during sexual intercourse can help delay ejaculation. Kegel exercises can be performed at any time of the day and are also effective for individuals experiencing urinary incontinence. Additionally, other fitness and sports activities that engage the pelvic floor muscles are beneficial.
3. Topical Agents (Creams and Gels): Local anesthetic creams and gels, applied to the glans penis and foreskin, can delay premature ejaculation. Their main advantage is the absence of systemic side effects. However, depending on the amount used, they can reduce the sensation of orgasm in both men and women, and the odor of some gels can be unpleasant during intercourse.
4. Condom Use: Condoms can help prevent premature ejaculation by reducing sensation during intercourse. Standard condoms can be used for this purpose, as well as special condoms containing local anesthetics.
5. Sex Therapies: Therapies conducted with psychiatrists or sex therapists can yield effective results in the treatment of premature ejaculation. Techniques such as extending the foreplay period, changing positions when the sensation of ejaculation arises, or the "start-stop" technique can be taught in these therapies.
