Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 35-year-old male. I am concerned about the amount of precum when aroused. From my understanding, a teaspoon full would be normal. I have probably four times more. It is disturbing and I would like to reduce it via medication.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Precum is the fluid coming naturally out before ejaculation, its function mainly is to lubricate during intercourse. It man contain sperms as well. This fluid comes naturally and it is good for us actually. And the amount will vary with age and sexual desire. There are medications to reduce it but I do not advise you to take it as those medications are also reducing sexual drive. Other way if it really disturbs you during sexual intercourse then you can masturbate before intercourse. To remind you this precum can contain sperms so if you intend for pregnancy then you have to do protected intercourse.

I hope this helps.

Thank you doctor,

Kindly do assist me with the medication recommended and please let me know of other possible side effects.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

To reduce the amount of precum you can use capsule Dutasteride 0.5 mg once a day. Side effects can be pain in the breast or even enlargement it might also reduce your erections. Side effects does not mean everybody could have it but if you had then you need to stop the medication. This medicine will take time up to three months to achieve results. Please follow up with me to see the effect of the treatment after four weeks.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
