Understanding Premature Ejaculation Care
Premature ejaculation is common. Occasional episodes may not need treatment, but persistent difficulty can be discussed with a clinician.
Information on this page is general and cannot confirm a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation for an individual patient.
Symptoms and Assessment
These concerns are reasons to seek an individual assessment:
- Ejaculation sooner than desired
- Ongoing distress or relationship concerns
- A new change in sexual function
Treatment Decisions
Assessment may consider physical health, medicines and emotional factors. Options can include behavioural approaches, counselling or medicines when appropriate. This condition does not ordinarily require surgery.
Ask the clinic which qualified clinician can assess you, which options are available, and where any recommended procedure would take place.
Questions for Your Consultation
What factors might be contributing, and which non-surgical options fit me?
Also ask about alternatives, possible complications, cost or insurance requirements, expected recovery and follow-up for your situation.
