Can Strongly Shimei Be Used on the Glans for Sensitivity Relief? - Urology

I would like to inquire about the use of Strongly Shimei on the glans penis?


I have read online that some people use lidocaine for excessive sensitivity of the glans.
However, the pharmacies near me only have EMLA cream, which contains a combination of lidocaine and prilocaine.
Can I use EMLA cream on the glans to reduce sensitivity?

More Info


When it comes to managing sensitivity in the glans (the head of the penis), the use of topical anesthetics like lidocaine can indeed be effective. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that temporarily numbs the area where it is applied, which can help reduce sensitivity and discomfort. However, you mentioned that you only have access to "Strongly Shimei" (likely a brand name for a topical anesthetic that may contain lidocaine or a similar compound).
Can Strongly Shimei Be Used on the Glans for Sensitivity Relief?
Yes, Strongly Shimei can potentially be used on the glans to help relieve sensitivity, assuming it contains a local anesthetic like lidocaine. However, it is crucial to follow some guidelines and precautions:
1. Check the Ingredients: Before applying any topical medication, ensure that it contains a local anesthetic. If it does, read the instructions carefully to understand the recommended application method and dosage.

2. Patch Test: If you have never used this product before, consider doing a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions or irritation.
3. Application: If you decide to use it, apply a thin layer to the glans. Avoid using excessive amounts, as this can lead to unwanted side effects, including prolonged numbness or irritation.

4. Duration of Use: Limit the duration of application as recommended on the product label. Overuse can lead to skin irritation or other complications.

5. Avoid Contact with Mucous Membranes: Be cautious to avoid applying the product to areas that may come into contact with mucous membranes, as this can lead to systemic absorption and potential side effects.

6. Consult a Healthcare Professional: It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before using any medication for sensitive areas. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and medical history.

Potential Side Effects and Considerations
While topical anesthetics are generally safe when used as directed, there are some potential side effects to be aware of:
- Local Irritation: Some individuals may experience redness, itching, or a burning sensation at the application site.

- Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some people may have an allergic reaction to the ingredients in the topical anesthetic.

- Numbness: Prolonged use can lead to extended numbness, which may not be desirable, especially during sexual activity.

Conclusion
In summary, Strongly Shimei may be used on the glans for sensitivity relief if it contains a local anesthetic like lidocaine. However, it is essential to use it cautiously and follow the product's instructions. If you have any concerns or experience any adverse effects, consult a healthcare professional for further guidance. Remember that managing sensitivity can also involve other approaches, such as behavioral techniques or consulting a specialist in sexual health for tailored advice.
