  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 a bit worried about my urine test results. It showed pus cells at 18-20, but I think the normal range is around 5. I'm experiencing shivering, headaches, and general weakness. I just did a urine culture test and will get the results in 72 hours. Until then, is there anything specific I should do or be concerned about?
