Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a problem with premature ejaculation. I have met many sexologists, and all of them advised the use of Dapoxetine and Paroxetine tablets. I am also having erection problems. Please help me resolve it.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Premature ejaculation, along with erection problems, is a common and treatable condition, especially in young men, and you are not alone in this. Dapoxetine and Paroxetine belong to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) group of medicines, which are often prescribed for premature ejaculation because they can delay ejaculation. However, an important side effect of these medicines, especially Paroxetine, is that they can worsen erection quality in some men. So, if you already have erection difficulties, these medicines may actually make that problem more noticeable, even though they help with timing.
In many cases, premature ejaculation and erection problems occur together, and anxiety, stress, performance fear, or relationship pressure can worsen both. If erections are not strong or consistent, the body may rush to ejaculation. Therefore, treatment should focus on both problems together, not just delaying ejaculation. Doctors often first work on improving erection quality, sometimes with lifestyle changes, counselling, or medicines like low-dose phosphodiesterase type five inhibitors if appropriate, and once erections are more stable, ejaculation control often improves on its own. Non-medicine approaches such as the start-stop technique, squeeze technique, pelvic floor exercises, and reducing anxiety also play an important role and have long-term benefits.
I would advise you not to keep changing or increasing medicines on your own. A proper evaluation is needed, including discussion about morning erections, stress levels, sleep, alcohol or tobacco use, and hormone levels if required. With the right approach and guidance from a qualified doctor, such as a urologist or andrologist, this condition can be managed safely and effectively. Please remember this is a medical issue, not a personal failure, and with correct treatment, most men see good improvement.
I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.
Thank you.
