Frequently asked questions

What is Premature Ejaculation PE ?

Premature Ejaculation (PE) is reaching orgasm and releasing semen too quickly during sex, sometimes before you even want to. While occasional instances are normal, if they happen frequently, it can be frustrating and even affect personal relationships.

How common is PE ?

Premature ejaculation is a common issue, impacting 30 to 40 per cent of men, at least at one point in their lifetime. One in three men aged 18 to 59 reports experiencing premature ejaculation. (Source : The Urology Care Foundation)

Medications for PE

Paroxetine and Dapoxetine are the leading medicines for managing and treating PE.

What is the major difference between them?

Paroxetine

Type: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI)

Usage: Originally an antidepressant, it is also prescribed off-label for PE.

Mechanism: Increases serotonin levels in the brain, which helps delay ejaculation.

Administration: Typically taken daily.

Efficacy: Effective in increasing the time to ejaculation.

Side Effects: May include nausea, dizziness, and sexual side effects.

Dapoxetine

Type: Fast-acting SSRI

Usage: Specifically approved for treating PE in several countries.

Mechanism: Similar to other SSRIs, but with a quicker onset and shorter duration of action.

Administration: Taken on-demand, 1-3 hours before sexual activity.

Efficacy: Effective in delaying ejaculation and improving sexual satisfaction.

Side Effects: Commonly include dizziness, nausea, and headache.

Comparison

The intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) is defined as the time from vaginal intromission to intravaginal ejaculation. SSRP (Paroxetine) is found to be more effective in terms of satisfaction and IELT. Intercourse satisfaction and IELT increment was higher in the SSRP group.

What are the Potential Causes of Premature Ejaculation?

• Psychological factors such as anxiety, stress, poor body image, depression, negative feelings about the idea of sex, or being overly excited can contribute to premature ejaculation.

• Biological premature ejaculation causes include medical conditions and hormonal fluctuations. The relative balance between the hormones serotonin (blocks ejaculation) and dopamine (promotes ejaculation), chemicals in the brain that are responsible for regulating sexual desire and excitement, can contribute to this issue. High levels of dopamine compared to serotonin can cause premature ejaculation.

• Premature ejaculation can also be linked to erectile dysfunction (difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection of the penis).

• Inflammation (red and swollen) of the prostate (the gland that produces semen) may further contribute to premature ejaculation causes.

• You may have inherited this condition from your family.

• Certain medications, especially those affecting neurotransmitters (adrenaline, epinephrine), may influence ejaculation.

• Alcohol, drugs, or substance abuse can contribute to premature ejaculation.

How is Premature Ejaculation Treated?

There are many different modes of premature ejaculation treatment, which are mainly based on the premature ejaculation causes. The treatments include behavioural therapy, counselling and medications.
