Three Misunderstandings in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Male Premature Ejaculation

1. Self diagnosis of premature ejaculation using a self test table

Phenomenon: There are many premature ejaculation self test tables circulating online now. Most of these test sheets cover 10 topics, stating that problems can self diagnose premature ejaculation.

Perspective: These test tables are usually derived from the functional evaluation tables used by clinical doctors for Chinese premature ejaculation patients, but they often tamper with the ejaculation time and the evaluation criteria have themes, which cannot be self measured and can actually lead to misunderstandings.

2. Cleaning the glans with toothpaste to treat premature ejaculation

Phenomenon: Some netizens claim that applying toothpaste to the glans can reduce sensitivity and prolong sexual intercourse time. This is a so-called "secret recipe for sex" widely circulated online.

Perspective: According to online transmission, toothpaste can clean the paralyzed nerves of the glans penis, prolong ejaculation time, and have no side effects. But in reality, the main prescriptions for toothpaste are friction agents, washing foaming agents, adhesives, sweeteners, spices (mint, eucalyptus, etc.), and moisture. Among them, mint plays a role in the glans. In theory, mint does have inhibitory and paralyzing effects on the surrounding nerves, and when applied to the glans, it can delay ejaculation. But in fact, there are certain risks and side effects involved. Peppermint not only has a paralyzing effect, but also has a stimulating effect. Repeated application can cause congestion of the glans, and some people may also experience allergic reactions.

3. Surgical treatment for premature ejaculation has a miraculous therapeutic effect

Phenomenon: With the development of "selective dorsal penile neurotomy" for treating premature ejaculation, many institutions use it as a gimmick to attract patients. There are many advertisements online about this treatment, such as calling it the "nemesis of premature ejaculation" and the "gold standard for premature ejaculation treatment".

Perspective: Penile dorsal neurotomy is not as magical as online promotion. Firstly, this surgery is currently only applicable to married patients with primary premature ejaculation, and patients should receive long-term medication, psychological, and behavioral treatment, with minimal efficacy. At the same time, it is also necessary to conduct professional measurements of the penis and obtain objective data for comprehensive judgment.
