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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Additional Treatment Options
- Consider behavioral techniques and counseling.
- Seek specialist advice from a urologist or psychiatrist if needed.
-
Summary and Encouragement

View allI've got a small cut on my foreskin that bled when it first happened and was painful. It doesn't bleed anymore, but sometimes I still feel pain, and it hasn't healed yet. What's going on, and should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may have a small cut on your foreskin that is taking some time to heal. To help with the healing process and reduce pain, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Polysporin on the cut twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with the pain. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and try to avoid any activities that may irritate the cut further. If the cut does not show signs of improvement or if the pain persists, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm 94 and have been dealing with prostate issues. I've been on Urimax 0.4 mg at night for about a year. Since starting it, I've noticed that I end up needing to pee more often during the night, which means I can't really get a good night's sleep. Do you think it would be okay if I switched to taking Urimax during the day instead? I'm really hoping for a way to sleep better.
You can consult your doctor about taking Urimax (Tamsulosin) 0.4mg in the morning instead of nighttime to minimize nocturia (frequent urination at night) and improve sleep quality; however, it's essential to discuss this change with your doctor, as they may need to monitor your prostate symptoms and adjust your treatment plan accordingly to ensure optimal management of your benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

I'm really worried because I've been masturbating for about 5 years, and now my penis looks different, kind of out of shape. I'm not sure if this will affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. On top of that, my legs have gotten really thin, and I feel pain in all my joints. My testicles are also quite painful. Did I somehow damage my penis? Could you help me understand what's going on?
Masturbation itself does not typically cause permanent damage to the penis or reproductive health; however, your symptoms, such as penis shape concerns, joint pain, thin legs, and testicular pain, may be related to other factors, including over-masturbation, which can lead to temporary issues like fatigue, muscle strain, or inflammation; consider consulting a urologist
