Medications for premature ejaculation?
Hello, doctor: I would like to ask if there is a problem with premature ejaculation (sensitivity of the glans), and I read online that I can buy Yongxin's Yunsiao ointment.
Would that be suitable? Are there any other ointments I can use? I feel embarrassed to directly tell the store staff that it's for sexual activity, so I was thinking of just asking them for any ointment.

When it comes to managing premature ejaculation (PE) sensitivity, particularly when the glans (the head of the penis) is overly sensitive, there are several topical creams and ointments that can be effective. One of the products you mentioned, the "Yunxiao" cream (允消傷乳膏), is often discussed in online forums, but it's essential to understand its ingredients and how they work.
Topical anesthetics are commonly used to reduce sensitivity in the glans. These creams typically contain active ingredients like lidocaine or benzocaine, which are local anesthetics that temporarily numb the area where they are applied. By reducing sensitivity, these creams can help prolong the time before ejaculation occurs, potentially aiding in the management of premature ejaculation.
In addition to Yunxiao cream, there are other over-the-counter options available that contain lidocaine or benzocaine. Brands like "Promescent" and "Stud 100" are specifically designed for this purpose and are widely used. These products are formulated to be safe for use on sensitive skin and can be applied shortly before sexual activity.
When using any topical anesthetic, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided on the packaging. Typically, you would apply a small amount to the glans and allow it to absorb for a few minutes before engaging in sexual activity. However, it's important to note that these creams can sometimes reduce sensitivity too much, which may affect pleasure for both partners. Therefore, it may take some experimentation to find the right balance.
If you are uncomfortable discussing your needs with store staff, consider purchasing these products online, where discretion is often maintained. Additionally, consulting with a healthcare provider or a urologist can provide you with tailored advice and recommendations based on your specific situation. They can also discuss other treatment options, such as behavioral techniques, pelvic floor exercises, or prescription medications that may be more suitable for you.
It's also worth mentioning that while topical treatments can be effective, they do not address the underlying psychological or physiological factors that may contribute to premature ejaculation. Techniques such as the "stop-start" method or the "squeeze" technique can be beneficial in conjunction with topical treatments. These methods involve learning to recognize the sensations that lead to ejaculation and practicing control over them.
Lastly, if you experience any adverse reactions to the cream, such as irritation or an allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. It's essential to prioritize your health and comfort while exploring options for managing sensitivity.
In summary, topical anesthetic creams can be effective for managing premature ejaculation sensitivity. Products containing lidocaine or benzocaine are commonly used and can be purchased discreetly online. However, consulting with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and exploring additional treatment options is always a good idea.
