Penile desensitization therapy typically aims to reduce penile sensitivity in order to address premature ejaculation. This can be achieved through various methods, including the application of topical medications, oral medications, behavioral training, physical therapy, or surgical intervention.
1. Application of topical medications
Glans desensitization therapy can use topical anesthetic drugs to reduce the sensitivity of the glans. Commonly used drugs include lidocaine cream, tetracaine gel, etc. These types of drugs can temporarily block nerve conduction, thereby prolonging the latency period before ejaculation occurs. Before use, clean the glans. After applying the medication, wait for it to take effect. Before engaging in sexual activity, wash off the medication to avoid affecting your partner. Some individuals may experience adverse reactions such as localized numbness or a burning sensation in the skin; long-term use should be accompanied by caution to prevent skin allergies.
2. Oral medications
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as dapoxetine hydrochloride tablets and paroxetine hydrochloride tablets can delay ejaculation by regulating neurotransmitter levels. These medications should be taken regularly under the guidance of a doctor, and side effects such as dizziness and dry mouth may occur. Tricyclic antidepressants such as clomipramine hydrochloride tablets can also provide some improvement in premature ejaculation, but they have many side effects and should be used with caution.
3. Behavioral Training
Behavioral therapies such as compression techniques and stop-and-start methods can gradually help improve control over ejaculation. During training, it is necessary to work together with a partner. When sexual stimulation is approaching orgasm, pause or squeeze the glans to reduce the level of excitement. Regular long-term training can re-establish the ejaculation reflex in a non-invasive manner, but it requires persistence. Combining exercises for the pelvic floor muscles, such as Kegel exercises, can help enhance control.
4. Physical therapy
Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy can reduce sensitivity by promoting local angiogenesis and nerve repair. Radiofrequency therapy uses electromagnetic waves to generate thermal effects that alter the function of nerve conduction. These physical treatments require multiple sessions to be effective. During the treatment period, mild redness and swelling may occur, but these usually subside on their own.
5. Surgical treatment
For patients with severe premature ejaculation who have not responded to other treatments, selective dorsal root neuroablation of the penis can be considered as an option. This procedure reduces sensitivity by partially cutting off the nerves that innervate the penis, and carries risks such as decreased sensation and erectile dysfunction after the operation. Circumcision also helps to improve premature ejaculation in individuals with excessive prepuce.
During the desensitization treatment for the glans penis, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the perineal area to avoid excessive friction and irritation. In terms of diet, it is appropriate to supplement with nutrients such as zinc and vitamin E, while avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Regular sleep patterns and moderate exercise can help improve overall functional performance. It is important to maintain communication with your doctor during the treatment process and adjust the treatment plan according to its effectiveness. It is not recommended to take medications on your own or to discontinue the treatment without consulting your doctor. The understanding and cooperation of one's partner are particularly important for the effectiveness of behavioral training.
