Experiencing difficulty lasting longer during intercourse is very common and highly treatable. You have several effective options to discuss with a doctor: Behavioural Techniques: Methods like the start-stop or squeeze technique can help you manage arousal. Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter desensitising sprays or creams containing lidocaine or prilocaine can reduce sensitivity when applied before intercourse. Oral Medications: Prescription medications, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like sertraline, paroxetine, or dapoxetine, are highly effective at delaying ejaculation. Counselling: Therapy can help address performance anxiety or stress. Please consult a healthcare provider to find the safest, most effective treatment plan for you.
