Premature Ejaculation Cream vs. Tablets
Premature Ejaculation Cream vs. Tablets
Premature ejaculation (PE) can be a source of significant distress for men and their partners. It’s a common condition characterised by the inability to control ejaculation, often occurring sooner than desired during sexual activity. Fortunately, there are various treatments available to address this issue, including premature ejaculation tablets and creams. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the differences between these two forms of treatment, exploring their effectiveness, advantages, and considerations.
Understanding Premature Ejaculation
Before we dive into the treatments, let’s understand a bit about premature ejaculation. PE can be caused by psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or relationship issues, as well as physical factors like hormonal imbalances or hypersensitivity of the penis. Regardless of the cause, the impact on sexual satisfaction and self-esteem can be significant.
Premature Ejaculation Tablets
Premature ejaculation tablets are oral medications designed to help delay ejaculation and improve control over climax. These tablets often contain selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or other compounds that affect neurotransmitter levels in the brain. SSRIs, which are commonly used as antidepressants, have been found to have the side effect of delaying ejaculation.
One of the primary advantages of premature ejaculation tablets is their convenience. They are typically taken orally, either on a daily basis or as needed before sexual activity. This makes them discreet and easy to incorporate into one’s routine. Additionally, some men may find that the systemic effects of the medication help not only with controlling ejaculation but also with reducing anxiety and improving overall sexual performance.
However, premature ejaculation tablets may come with some drawbacks. Common side effects of SSRIs include nausea, dizziness, and decreased libido, which can be off-putting for some individuals. Moreover, because these medications affect neurotransmitter levels in the brain, they may take some time to build up in the system before providing noticeable benefits. This means that they may not be effective for everyone, and trial and error may be necessary to find the right dosage and medication.
Premature Ejaculation Cream
On the other hand, premature ejaculation creams are topical treatments applied directly to the penis before sexual activity. These creams typically contain ingredients such as lidocaine or benzocaine, which are local anaesthetics that temporarily numb the penile tissue, reducing sensitivity and delaying ejaculation.
One of the primary advantages of premature ejaculation creams is their rapid onset of action. Because they are applied directly to the source of the issue, they can take effect within minutes, providing almost immediate relief from premature ejaculation. This can be particularly beneficial for men who want a fast-acting solution without the need for daily medication.
Additionally, premature ejaculation creams tend to have fewer systemic side effects compared to oral medications. Because the active ingredients are applied topically, they are less likely to cause nausea, dizziness, or other unwanted effects commonly associated with oral medications.
However, premature ejaculation creams also have some limitations. One common concern is the potential for reduced sensation during sex, which may diminish overall sexual pleasure for both partners. Additionally, some individuals may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions to the ingredients in the cream, though this is relatively rare.
Choosing the Right Treatment
When it comes to choosing between premature ejaculation tablets and creams, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The right treatment for you will depend on various factors, including your individual preferences, the severity of your symptoms, and any underlying health conditions you may have.
If you prefer a discreet and convenient option that provides systemic benefits beyond just delaying ejaculation, premature ejaculation tablets may be worth considering. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a fast-acting solution with minimal side effects and don’t mind the temporary reduction in sensation, premature ejaculation creams may be a better fit.
Get Treatment
Premature ejaculation can have a significant impact on your quality of life and intimate relationships. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available to help manage this condition, including premature ejaculation cream and tablets. Both options have their pros and cons, so it’s essential to weigh them carefully and consult with one of our pharmacists to determine the best approach for you. With the right treatment and support, you can regain control over your sexual health and enjoy a more satisfying sex life.
