Balancing Sensation and Control for Better Sexual Performance

If you experience early ejaculation, overstimulation, or even anxiety due to heightened penile sensation, you're not alone. Penile sensitivity imbalance—whether too sensitive or too numb—can significantly affect sexual performance, pleasure, and confidence. Fortunately, leading men’s clinics in Korea like Gangnam J Urology Clinic offer personalized treatments to adjust penile sensitivity, helping patients achieve better control, longer endurance, and more satisfying intimacy. Whether you're an expat, traveler, or resident, expert care is accessible, discreet, and tailored to your needs.

What Is Penile Sensitivity Imbalance?

Penile sensitivity issues fall into two broad categories:

• Hypersensitivity (과민 – gwamin): Excessive sensitivity that may cause premature ejaculation (PE), discomfort, or performance anxiety.
• Hyposensitivity (저민 – jeomin): Reduced sensitivity resulting in delayed ejaculation, difficulty climaxing, or reduced pleasure.

For many men, finding the right level of sensitivity is key to improving endurance and regaining sexual confidence.

What Causes Sensitivity Issues?

Sensitivity imbalance can result from multiple factors:

Hypersensitivity:

• Thin foreskin or short frenulum (frenulum breve)
• Nerve overactivity or central nervous system sensitivity
• Past trauma or irritation
• Performance anxiety or early sexual conditioning
• Inflammation from prostatitis or urethritis

Hyposensitivity:

• Excessive masturbation or overstimulation
• Nerve desensitization from diabetes or aging
• Pelvic surgery or medication side effects
• Delayed ejaculation or psychological barriers

Assessment and Diagnosis at Korean Men’s Clinics

Clinics like Gangnam J Urology Clinic begin with a confidential, structured evaluation:

 1. Detailed Consultation:
Discussion of symptoms, history, timing of the problem, and emotional impact.

 2. Physical Exam:

• Check for frenulum tightness, foreskin mobility, or skin conditions
• Penile reflex tests for nerve overactivity or reduced sensitivity

3. Optional Testing:

• Penile biothesiometry (measures nerve response)
• Hormone levels (testosterone, prolactin)
• Doppler ultrasound if vascular or ED concerns exist

Penile Sensitivity Adjustment Treatments in Korea

Depending on your sensitivity type, the clinic will recommend non-surgical or surgical solutions designed to recalibrate sensation and improve control:

For Hypersensitivity (Overly Sensitive Penis)

1. Topical Desensitizing Creams or Sprays

• Lidocaine or prilocaine-based products
• Applied before sex to reduce overstimulation
• Often paired with behavioral therapy for lasting results

2. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)

• Medications like Dapoxetine (Priligy) or Paroxetine delay ejaculation by increasing serotonin levels
• On-demand or daily use under supervision

3. Frenuloplasty Surgery (if tight frenulum is present)

• Minor outpatient procedure to release tension
• Often results in improved control and comfort

4. Penile Nerve Modulation Injections

• Localized injections that dull nerve sensitivity
• Offered at select men’s clinics in Gangnam
• Often done with topical anesthesia; results last weeks to months

5. Shockwave Therapy

• Used to modulate nerve responsiveness and increase tissue resilience
• Non-invasive, no downtime

For Hyposensitivity (Reduced Penile Sensation)

1. Lifestyle and Behavioral Changes

• Reducing pornography use or excessive stimulation
• Kegel exercises and pelvic floor training to heighten awareness

2. Testosterone Therapy (TRT)

• If low testosterone is detected, hormone treatment may restore sensitivity and arousal

3. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections

• Regenerative therapy to rejuvenate penile tissue
• Stimulates nerve regeneration and sensitivity

4. Neurological Therapy

• Vibration or electrical stimulation tools
• Used to reawaken desensitized nerve pathways
