Premature ejaculation: treatment update
Abstract
Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common male sexual problem worldwide affecting 22-38% of men. It has a significant morbidity both on patients and their partners, causing distress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. The mainstay of treatment is a combined approach using behavioural therapies and non-licensed medication such as topical anaesthetic preparations, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors. In recent years, there has been a greater emphasis placed on researching novel treatments and exploring the on-demand use of current preparations. This review provides an overview of current accepted treatments and emerging agents for the use in PE.
