Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I ejaculate within a few minutes. Can you recommend an allopathic medication? I have tried Ayurvedic remedies without success. Please help.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Obinna Ugwuoke

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Dealing with premature ejaculation can be a source of frustration. While methods like Kegel exercises are commonly employed to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and extend ejaculation time, there are also pharmaceutical options available.

I suggest the following medications:

  1. Topical sprays: They are applied directly to the penis before sexual activity, Benzocaine gel (Benzocaine 20 percent w/w) is an example. It reduces sensation and delays ejaculation. This type of spray is available over the counter and should be applied 10 to 15 minutes before intercourse.

  2. Climax condoms: They are designed to reduce sensation and prolong ejaculation. These condoms are available without a prescription.

  3. Oral medication: Tablets like Paroxetine 20 mg can be taken orally to delay ejaculation. It is important to note that the effect may take seven to 10 days to manifest. During this time, topical numbing gel or climax condoms can be used until the oral medication becomes effective.

In addition to these options, I suggest incorporating Kegel exercises into your routine. Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles through these exercises may lead to prolonged ejaculation without the need for pharmaceutical intervention in the long run. Kindly consult your doctor and take the medicines.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Treatment plan

for treatment, I suggest the following: 1. Tablet Paroxetine 20 mg daily for two weeks, followed by 20 mg on demand for four weeks.

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