The Importance of Combining Short and Long Term Treatment Options for Premature Ejaculation

Short and long term goals

Treatment options for sexual performance issues can vary widely from one man to the next and depending on the severity of his condition. This is because the cause of these conditions can come from just about anything and, of course, every man’s physiology is different, making treatment something which must be tailored and customised to fit each individual person. While treatment approaches are varied, the way in which the problem is best tackled is fairly straight-forward. First, men need to deal with the problem head-on, that is, to find treatments which help them perform as they want. Secondly, long-term treatment options need to identify and deal with the root cause.

Short and Long Term Goals

When it comes to performance issues, the most common is premature ejaculation. This condition can also be the most frustrating as many men don’t bother trying to treat sporadic episodes but instead wait until the condition becomes chronic before they take steps towards improvement. By that time, the condition has worsened and has usually become more severe as the stress and anxiety it created feeds right back into the condition’s cycle.

In the short term, men aim to simply improve their stamina. This can be done with numbing agents, cock rings and the off-label use of prescription medications under a doctor’s supervision. Each of these options will provide immediate relief from the main symptom of the condition – ejaculating too quickly. Taking immediate action this way helps to break the cycle of the condition and gives men, and their partners, some breathing room in which to focus their energy on long-term options.

In the long-term, it’s important for men to identify and deal with the root cause of their premature ejaculation. Once again, this approach can be frustrating for men and their partners as it often means examining many areas of their life and trying a series of treatments in order to find one that fits. Long-term treatment options don’t offer the same instant results that fast acting short-term solutions deliver, so each treatment must be tried and given time to work before moving on to something else. Common and successful long-term treatment options typically include

  • Nutritional Changes – What we eat has a huge impact in how we feel and how we preform sexually. A diet focused on fast-food or processed, ready to eat meals is often laden with salt, sugar and fat. Cleaning up your diet and focusing on healthy plant-based foods can improve your overall health as well as boosting libido and helping to treat both impotence and premature ejaculation.
  • Exercise – Another healthy change that has been used to successfully treat sexual performance issues is a simple boost in exercise. Aerobic exercises are especially helpful as they stimulate better cardiovascular health.
  • Meditation / Stress Relief – Stress is one of the most common contributors to premature ejaculation. Exercise can help beat stress but it’s important to include a calming component as well. Meditation, solitary walks and talk therapy can all be used to help manage stress more effectively.
  • Sex Therapy – Learning about new positions and techniques can also help men who experience early ejaculation as the result of simple over-stimulation. These techniques can be found through trained sex therapists or by delving into secrets of the past, such as the ancient sex manual the Kama Sutra.

While long-term treatments for early ejaculation can take time to work, using a short-term solution helps give men the breathing room they need to tackle the problem sensibly. By combining their options men can customise a treatment option that works best for their lifestyle and the goals they want to achieve.
