    1. Oral drug treatment

    Serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as sertraline and paroxetine are the mainstay of drug treatment; tricyclic antidepressants such as clomipramine and fluoxetine. However, these drugs have some side effects and must be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Topical drugs

    Mainly local anesthetics, which can be applied to the glans penis before sexual intercourse to delay the ejaculation latency period through local anesthesia. Topical drugs include 1% dyclonine solution, 1% tetracaine solution, 2% lidocaine gel, 3% ethyl aminobenzoate, etc. After using local anesthesia, you can use condoms or not. If you are not using a condom, wash any remaining medication from your penis. It is worth noting that excessive extension of anesthesia time (30 to 45 minutes) can cause erection to disappear. The reason is that too long anesthesia time will make the penis feel numb in a considerable number of people. If the remaining drugs on the penis are not thoroughly cleaned before intercourse (without a condom), the spread of local anesthesia residue on the penis will also cause numbness of the woman's vaginal wall, reducing sexual pleasure. If the patient or sexual partner is allergic to local anesthetics, this method should be avoided.
