  1. Understanding Premature Ejaculation (PE)

    • PE is a common sexual dysfunction where ejaculation occurs sooner than desired. Causes include psychological factors, hormonal imbalances, and certain medical conditions.
  2. Medications Commonly Used for PE

    • Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): Medications like dapoxetine (Priligy) can delay ejaculation by affecting serotonin levels.
    • Topical Anesthetics: Creams such as lidocaine-prilocaine reduce penile sensitivity, helping to delay ejaculation.
    • Other Options: Tramadol, used off-label, may also help.
  3. Usage and Precautions

    • Consult a healthcare provider before starting any medication.
    • Be aware of possible side effects and contraindications.
    • Follow guidance on proper usage and dosage.
  4. Additional Treatment Options

    • Consider behavioral techniques and counseling.
    • Seek specialist advice from a urologist or psychiatrist if needed.
  5. Summary and Encouragement

    • PE is common and treatable. Open communication with healthcare professionals is key to personalized care.

I'm only able to ejaculate a few drops of sperm and it happens pretty quickly. Plus, I feel really worn out after. Is this normal? Do you know of any home remedies that can help with sperm production?

Its normal for sperm volume and ejaculation time to vary, but consistently low volume or premature ejaculation may need attention. Feeling very tired afterward can be linked to stress or lifestyle factors. Focus on staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in zinc (nuts, seeds, dairy), and managing stress. If the problem persists, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing some discomfort after masturbating. It's like a tingling sensation starting from my left testicle, moving down to my left thigh and foot. Plus, whenever it's hot, I feel some discomfort and inflammation in the veins on the left side, and honestly, it seems a bit more swollen than the right one. There's also this mild back pain that I notice, but it usually gets better if I rest properly or use an ice pack. I was treated for epididymitis on my left side around two years ago, and at the time, ultrasound results came back normal even though the discomfort lingered. This issue shows up randomly, and I'm getting a bit worried. Do you have any advice or thoughts on what might be going on?

During this act, due to excessive force there might be injury to the genitals which may be the reason for your symptoms...urinary tract infection may be the cause... There are evidences which suggest that excessive masturbation might aggravate hair loss and it might cause premature ejaculation which will cause difficulties in concieving in the future. So I suggest you to do yoga and mainly meditation to have some willpower to control your habit.

I've noticed that my penis head is red and swollen, and I'm having trouble with the foreskin not pulling back completely when I'm trying to clean it or do other stuff. It also hurts a bit when I pee. Can you tell me what might be going on and which kind of doctor I should see for this?
