Premature ejaculation is the most common male sexual dysfunction, affecting approximately one in three men at some point in their lives. It is defined as ejaculation that occurs sooner than desired — either before or shortly after penetration — causing distress or frustration. Despite being extremely common, PE is significantly undertreated because many men feel embarrassed to discuss it. Telehealth consultations have made it easier than ever to seek help privately and discreetly.

Several effective treatments are available. A specifically approved PE medication is available in Australia. It is a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor taken one to three hours before sexual activity, and can delay ejaculation by two to three times. Off-label use of daily low-dose SSRIs can also be highly effective for PE when taken continuously. Your Specialist GP will discuss all options during your consultation.

Topical anaesthetic agents — sprays or creams containing lignocaine or prilocaine — are another option. These are applied to the head of the penis 10 to 20 minutes before sex to reduce sensitivity. They are available over the counter but work best when used as part of a comprehensive management plan discussed with your GP. Some men achieve the best results by combining medication with topical agents.

Behavioural techniques can complement medication. The stop-start technique involves pausing stimulation when ejaculation feels imminent, waiting for the sensation to subside, then resuming. The squeeze technique involves squeezing the head of the penis firmly when approaching climax. Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) can also improve ejaculatory control over time. Your Specialist GP can explain these techniques during your telehealth consultation.

PE is often associated with anxiety — performance anxiety, relationship stress, or generalised anxiety. Addressing the psychological component alongside medication typically produces the best outcomes. Your GP can discuss whether a combined approach is appropriate and can coordinate referral to a psychologist or sex therapist if needed. The key message is that PE is treatable, common, and nothing to be embarrassed about.

Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are common conditions that affect many men but are often under-reported due to embarrassment or stigma. These conditions are medical in nature and respond well to treatment in most cases. Your Specialist GP will conduct a thorough assessment to identify any underlying causes — including cardiovascular risk factors, hormonal imbalances, medication side effects, and psychological contributors — and develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual circumstances.

Telehealth is particularly well-suited to these consultations because it removes the barrier of face-to-face discussion about sensitive topics. Many patients find it easier to speak openly and honestly about their symptoms by phone. Your GP will explain the available treatment options, discuss the expected benefits and potential side effects, and send your treatment electronically to your chosen pharmacy. Follow-up appointments can be scheduled to assess treatment response and adjust the plan if needed. Ongoing refills are available for $39 online once your treatment is established.
