- Home remedy for premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation remedies help to delay the desire to ejaculate and generally work by decreasing the sensitivity of the penis, when applied locally, or by acting on the brain, reducing the man's anxiety or even having the delayed ejaculation side effect.
Thus, the most used premature ejaculation remedies include:
1. Antidepressants
One of the side effects of some antidepressants is delaying ejaculation. For this reason, antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as sertraline, paroxetine, fluoxetine or dapoxetine, are widely used to treat this problem. In addition, these antidepressants also help to reduce anxiety, which is one of the causes of premature ejaculation.
These drugs 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 drugs are nausea, excessive sweating, drowsiness and decreased sexual appetite.
2. Painkillers
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. 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors
5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors, such as sildenafil or tadalafil, known as Viagra and Cialis respectively, are drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction. However, they also help to delay ejaculation, especially if they are 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. Creams or ointments for local application
Local anesthetics such as lidocaine, benzocaine or prilocaine, for example, can also be used, which should be applied to the penis about 10 to 15 minutes before intimate contact, to reduce sensitivity, which will decrease the desire to ejaculate. However, they can cause side effects such as decreased pleasure or the appearance of allergic reactions.
Due to the fact that all drugs to treat premature ejaculation have side effects, it is recommended to 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 combined with medications, can enhance the intended effects. See other ways to treat the problem.
