Premature Ejaculation Treatment in London
Premature ejaculation is a common sexual health concern and can be difficult to talk about. If ejaculation happens sooner than you or your partner would like on a regular basis, it can affect confidence, intimacy and relationships. Support and treatment options are available.
Our consultant urologists offer discreet assessment for premature ejaculation in London. We take time to understand the factors involved and discuss treatment approaches that may help you feel more in control.
What is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation, often called PE, is when ejaculation occurs sooner during sex than you or your partner would like, and this happens regularly enough to cause distress.
Many men experience this occasionally. It may become a concern when it is persistent, affects your confidence or causes difficulty in a relationship.
There is not always one clear reason why premature ejaculation develops. It may be linked to anxiety, stress, relationship concerns or increased penile sensitivity. Physical health factors and erectile difficulties can also contribute for some men.
A confidential assessment can help identify what may be affecting you. Your consultant can then explain the options that may be appropriate, which may include practical techniques, topical treatment, medication or a combination of approaches.
What can contribute to premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation can have psychological, physical or mixed causes. Understanding the likely contributing factors is an important part of choosing treatment.
Stress and anxiety
Worry about sexual performance, general stress or anxiety can make it more difficult to feel relaxed and maintain control during sex.
Relationship factors
Concerns within a relationship, changes in intimacy or pressure around sexual activity can sometimes play a part.
Sensitivity
Some men may have greater penile sensitivity, which can contribute to ejaculation happening sooner than they would like.
Erectile difficulties
Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction can occur together. For some men, anxiety about maintaining an erection can lead to rushing or difficulty controlling ejaculation.
How we assess premature ejaculation
Your consultation is private and unhurried. Your consultant will ask about your symptoms, how long they have been happening and the effect they are having on you.
Confidential consultation
A discussion about your sexual health, medical history, relationship circumstances where relevant and any concerns about erections or sexual desire.
Review of contributing factors
Your consultant will consider physical, psychological and lifestyle factors that may be affecting ejaculation.
Further assessment where needed
Most men do not need extensive tests. If another health condition may be contributing, your consultant may recommend appropriate examination, blood tests or further investigation.
From assessment to treatment
Treatment is based on the likely cause, the impact of symptoms and your preferences. Some men benefit from practical behavioural techniques, while others may find topical treatment or prescription medication helpful.
Where anxiety, stress, erectile difficulties or another contributing factor is involved, this can be addressed alongside treatment for premature ejaculation. Your consultant will explain the available options clearly and review your progress where needed.
Treatment options for premature ejaculation
Behavioural techniques
Practical techniques can help improve awareness, build confidence and develop greater control. Psychological support may also be helpful where stress or anxiety is contributing.
Topical treatments
Some topical treatments reduce sensitivity and may help delay ejaculation. Your consultant will explain how these are used and whether they may be suitable.
Medication
Certain prescription medicines may help some men delay ejaculation. Your consultant will discuss whether medication is appropriate, including potential benefits and side effects.
