I'm thinking about using Emla cream to help with premature ejaculation, and I saw it contains lidocaine and prilocaine. Is this safe to use for this purpose? I'm just a bit concerned and would like some advice on whether it's a good idea or if there are any risks I should be aware of.

Emla cream is not typically used for premature ejaculation. It is a topical anesthetic cream commonly used to numb the skin before certain medical procedures. For premature ejaculation, medications like dapoxetine (Priligy) can be more effective.

Post-urethrotomy symptoms like fatigue, back pain, or reduced output may suggest kidney stress. Follow-up tests and nephrologist consult are important.
