There are several prescription, over-the-counter and home remedies that all can be effective in treating PE. The best option for you depends on your specific situation, but these are a few of the most popular options:
SSRIs: Also known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, prescription medications like paroxetine, sertraline, fluoxetine and dapoxetine have been shown to be effective in treating premature ejaculation.
PDE5 inhibitors: ED medications, such as sildenafil (generic for Viagra®) or tadalafil (generic for Cialis®), can be used to treat both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. If you ejaculate too quickly, this may be the option for you, especially if you also struggle with getting erections, maintaining them, or achieving another one after your refractory period.
Anesthetic creams or sprays: Topical anesthetics are a popular choice for management of premature ejaculation because they are over-the-counter and since they aren’t ingested, they don’t have systemic effects on your body, which reduces the risk of experiencing systemic side effects
Stop-start or edging: This is a method of training your body to recognize when you are about to ejaculate during sexual stimulation, so that you can stop stimulation for a time to delay ejaculation for longer during sexual intercourse.
