Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual health concerns among men. It affects about 40% male population at some point in their lives. The condition occurs when a man’s penis climaxes too early during sex.
In other words, the man reaches orgasm before or right after penetration and is not usually able to delay the ejaculation to extend sexual pleasure for their partners or themselves.
Consequently, the sexual relationship between the partners can be negatively affected due to unmet sexual desires.
Here are some effective treatments for people struggling with premature ejaculation.
PE wipes
PE or premature ejaculation wipes can reduce the tension in the tip of a penis. The wipe contains benzocaine which reduces sensations by blocking the sodium channels. According to a study, people who used PE wipes for 2 months reported reduced distress during sex. Moreover, they also ejaculated after 2 a two-minute time which is considered a standard to diagnose premature ejaculation.
Topical creams
Many topical OTC anesthetic creams are available that can help numb the penis and help with premature ejaculation by delaying climax and reducing sensation. To get the best results, the person must apply it to their penis 10-15 minutes before intercourse.
However, some anesthetic creams can cause:
- A temporary loss in penis sensitivity
- Decreased libido (sexual desire)
- Mild burning sensations
- Mild pain
Before using any OTC topical cream, it’s best to consult your physician.
Zinc supplements
Zinc improves cell growth and immunity and helps in the production of testosterone which may result in better ejaculation time. It is also considered one of the most natural treatments for lack of libido.
However, too much zinc in your body may lead to:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Stomach and kidney damage
- Nausea
Hence, before taking zinc supplements for premature ejaculation, speak to your doctor online.
Condoms
Generally, condoms can help reduce penis sensitivity and increase the time to climax. Some manufacturers also offer a range of climax control condoms specifically designed to help with premature ejaculation.
Although these remedies can be effective and backed by research, it’s better to consult a medical expert if you’re facing issues with your sexual life.
