What is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation is the most common male sexual complaint. It is generally defined as ejaculation that occurs sooner than wished, often within about one minute of penetration in lifelong PE or with a clear reduction in acquired PE, together with little sense of control and personal or relationship distress. Causes include heightened penile sensitivity, serotonin signalling differences, anxiety, erectile difficulties, prostatitis and occasionally thyroid disorders.
Who is it for?
- Men who regularly ejaculate sooner than they or their partner would like
- Men who feel anxious or avoid intimacy because of it
- Men whose PE began alongside erection problems, pelvic pain or new stress
Occasional quick ejaculation, especially with a new partner or after a long gap, is normal and not usually a disorder.
What happens at the clinic
- Private consultation: when the problem began, how often it happens, and its impact.
- Questionnaire: tools such as the PEDT help classify severity.
- Check for related problems: erectile function, prostate symptoms, thyroid function if acquired PE suggests it.
- Examination: a brief genital exam; prostate check if pelvic symptoms are present.
- Plan: behavioural techniques, medication or both, with follow-up to adjust.
Treatment outlook
Behavioural techniques train awareness of arousal: the stop-start method and squeeze technique are practised alone or with a partner. Pelvic floor exercises may improve control. Dapoxetine is a short-acting medicine taken one to three hours before sex. Some doctors prescribe low-dose daily SSRIs or other medicines off-label. Local anesthetic sprays or creams reduce sensitivity; using a condom or wiping off excess prevents numbing the partner. If ED coexists, treating ED first often improves PE. Counselling addresses performance anxiety and communication.
Risks and side effects
Dapoxetine and SSRIs can cause nausea, dizziness, headache and, rarely, fainting; avoid alcohol with dapoxetine and do not combine with other antidepressants without medical advice. Numbing products may cause reduced sensation or irritation. Treatment usually improves control rather than providing a permanent cure for lifelong PE.
Choosing a clinic for PE treatment in Seomyeon
- Look for a urologist who distinguishes lifelong from acquired PE and checks for ED and prostatitis.
- Ask for clear guidance on behavioural techniques, not only a prescription.
- Ask about the side effects and interactions of any medicine offered.
- Be cautious about permanent procedures marketed for PE, such as nerve-cutting surgery; ask about evidence and risks.
- Ask whether couples counselling or sex therapy referral is available.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as premature ejaculation?
It is ejaculation that consistently occurs sooner than desired, with little control and distress. In lifelong PE this is often within about one minute; acquired PE is a noticeable reduction from your usual time.
How does dapoxetine work?
Dapoxetine is a short-acting medicine that increases serotonin activity, delaying ejaculation. It is taken one to three hours before sex. Avoid alcohol with it and discuss side effects with your doctor.
Can premature ejaculation be cured?
Acquired PE often resolves when the cause is treated. Lifelong PE is usually managed rather than cured, but most men gain meaningful control with behavioural techniques and medication.
Do numbing sprays work?
Topical anesthetic sprays and creams can delay ejaculation by reducing sensitivity. Apply as directed and wipe off or use a condom to avoid numbing your partner.
Is surgery for premature ejaculation recommended?
Major guidelines do not recommend surgical nerve-cutting procedures for PE because evidence is limited and sensation loss can be permanent. Non-surgical treatments are preferred.
