Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can practicing on your own help with premature ejaculation?
In some cases caused by stress or habit, regular practice of Start-Stop, Squeeze, and Kegel exercises can help improve the situation. However, if the issue is chronic or has a physical cause, medical attention is often necessary to see clear results.
How long does it take to see results from Kegel exercises?
Most people need to practice continuously for several weeks, around one month or more, to feel better control. It should be done in sets every day and target the correct muscles. If unsure, you can ask a doctor for guidance on the correct positions.
Is the spray/anesthetic for delaying ejaculation safe?
There are both doctor-recommended options and those that can be purchased independently, which carry risks. They should be used under medical guidance because excessive use may lead to numbness and loss of sensation, or cause allergic reactions/irritation to a partner.
Does premature ejaculation relate to erectile dysfunction?
