Premature ejaculation remedies help delay ejaculation and usually work by lowering penis sensitivity when applied locally, or acting on the brain, reducing man's anxiety or even having the side effect of delaying ejaculation.
Thus, the most commonly used early ejaculation remedies include:
1. Antidepressants
One of the side effects of some antidepressants is delaying ejaculation. For this reason, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants such as sertraline, paroxetine, fluoxetine or dapoxetine are widely used to treat this problem. In addition, these antidepressants also help reduce anxiety, which is one of the causes of premature ejaculation.
These medicines take about 10 days to take effect, however it takes some more time for the effect to be satisfactory.
The most common side effects that can occur with the use of these medicines are nausea, excessive sweating, drowsiness and decreased sexual appetite.
2. Analgesics
Tramadol is an analgesic widely used to treat pain and, like antidepressants, has the side effect of delaying ejaculation. However, this medicine should only be prescribed if antidepressants are not effective.
The most common side effects that can occur with the use of tramadol are nausea, headache, drowsiness and dizziness.
3. Inhibitors of 5-phosphodiesterase
Inhibitors of 5-phosphodiesterase, such as sildenafil or tadalafil, known as Viagra and Cialis respectively, are medicines used to treat erectile dysfunction. However, they also help to delay ejaculation, especially if used in conjunction with an antidepressant.
The most common side effects that can occur with the use of these medications are headache, facial redness and poor digestion.
4. Local application creams or ointments
Local anesthetics such as lidocaine, benzocaine or prilocaine may also be used, which should be applied to the penis about 10 to 15 minutes before intimate contact to reduce sensitivity and decrease the desire to ejaculate. However, they can cause side effects such as decreased pleasure or the onset of allergic reactions.
Because all medications to treat premature ejaculation have side effects, it is recommended that you consult a urologist to start treatment with the most appropriate medicine and dose, depending on the goals of each person.
In addition, premature ejaculation can also be controlled with other techniques that, when associated with medications, may increase the intended effects. See other ways to treat the problem.
