Medical science has found a way to treat even the most vexing conditions. While cures for some disorders remain elusive, more effective treatment options have helped millions to move past the problems which have been holding them back for so long. Nowhere else is this as amply illustrated as it is with cases of premature ejaculation.
Problems with climaxing too quickly have plagued men – and their partners – since the earliest times. Cases of premature ejaculation can be found in the most ancient medical texts as well as in antiquarian sex manuals such as the infamous Kama Sutra. Since the problem has been with us for so long, there are dozens of natural and homeopathic remedies which aim to curb the condition or, in some cases, resolve it completely.
As time has gone on, many doctors have found there are some pharmaceutical options to offer patients for whom natural methods have not been effective and, today, some men forgo natural options which can take time to become effective and ask for the drugs they know will work right away – but are they always really the best option?
The Dark Side of Pharmaceutical Intervention
While there are many pharmaceutical options to treat premature ejaculation, these options come with some level of risk. Currently there are no drugs developed specifically to treat this type of sexual dysfunction. Instead, doctors prescribe medications intended to treat other issues – most notably depression – which are known to have side effects that make orgasm more difficult.
The side effects of these drugs can range from the mildly annoying (rash, weight gain, dry mouth and constipation are all common) to the extreme, such as wild mood swings or even a loss of interest in sex entirely. As a result, some men who choose to go this route find themselves actually worse off than when they began.
Other chemical options include numbing agents but, again, this isn’t without its fair share of problems. Numbing sprays and gels do help men to last longer but many report a loss in pleasure as a result – making sex less enjoyable and thereby reducing their libido.
The Natural Options
More natural options for resolving the condition don’t carry the same problems in terms of side effects but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy option either. Typically, natural treatment plans include changes in diet, an increase in physical activity and the introduction of various nutritional supplements in order to improve circulation and general health. This route also recommends therapy or stress reduction as a way to find, identify and ultimately treat the underlying cause of premature ejaculation.
This approach encourages whole body health which is great for men struggling with the condition but it takes a considerable amount of time for men to see results – a problem that causes many to give up on the new regimes and fall into despair.
So what’s the solution? More and more medical professionals are now advocating for an approach that combines methodology from both schools of thought. First the doctor will find a medication with lower side effects but which will hopefully curb the condition quickly. At the same time, they work with patients to develop a comprehensive, natural treatment plan in order to establish a foundation for increased health and vitality.
While men work on improving their overall health to improve the condition – and in many cases resolve it almost entirely – they still have the support of pharmaceutical intervention which is then decreased over time so that they can see how well the natural methods are working. This joint effort not only gives men the instant relief and support they need, but it also sets them up for long-term success and personal control of their sexual well-being.
