Lignocaine hydrochloride gel can be used to help with premature ejaculation by desensitizing the area, but it's essential to use it as per the instructions on the packaging. Apply a small amount to the tip of the penis about 15-20 minutes before intercourse, but avoid using too much to prevent numbness in your partner. If you're facing ongoing issues, consider consulting a healthcare provider for further guidance.
