Regain Control and Confidence with Expert Men’s Health Care

Experiencing climax too early during intimacy can be frustrating, embarrassing, and emotionally distressing. Known as Premature Ejaculation (PE – 조루증, jorujeung), this condition affects many men—but is highly treatable. Whether you're dealing with lifelong PE or a recent onset, top urology clinics in Korea—like Gangnam J Urology Clinic—offer discreet, effective, and personalized treatment options. For expats and travelers, you’ll find English-speaking care in a private setting designed for men’s comfort and recovery.

What Is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature Ejaculation is defined as:

• Ejaculation that occurs sooner than desired, usually within 1 minute of penetration
• Lack of control over the timing
• Causing distress, frustration, or relationship issues

There are two main types:

• Primary (Lifelong) PE: Present from first sexual experience
• Secondary (Acquired) PE: Develops after a period of normal sexual function

Though common, many men suffer in silence. The good news? PE can be managed—and even cured—with proper care.

Common Causes of Premature Ejaculation

PE can result from a combination of psychological and physical factors:

• Anxiety or performance pressure
• Over-sensitivity of the penis or nerve endings
• Hormonal imbalance (e.g., low serotonin or testosterone)
• Prostatitis or urethritis
• Erectile dysfunction (men rush to climax before losing erection)
• Lack of sexual experience or infrequent sex

A comprehensive medical assessment is the first step to understanding your case.

Diagnosis and Evaluation at Korean Urology Clinics

At Gangnam J Urology Clinic, your privacy and dignity are respected throughout the process.

1. Confidential Consultation
   You’ll speak one-on-one with a male urologist or trained men’s health specialist about your symptoms, history, and goals.
2. Physical and Neurological Exam
   To rule out inflammation, infection, or structural causes (e.g., tight foreskin or frenulum breve).
3. Hormone Testing (if needed)
   Blood tests may check testosterone, thyroid hormones, and serotonin levels.
4. Optional Tests

• Penile sensitivity evaluation
• Prostate exam (if prostatitis is suspected)
• Erectile function screening to see if ED is related

PE Treatment Options in Korea

Treatment is tailored based on the cause and your personal needs. Most cases respond well to multi-modal therapy:

1. Behavioral & Desensitization Techniques

• “Stop-start” and “squeeze” methods
• Guided pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel exercises)
• Partnered counseling or guided sex therapy (optional)

2. Topical Anesthetic Creams or Sprays

• Lidocaine-prilocaine preparations reduce sensitivity
• Applied 10–20 minutes before sex, then wiped off
• May be prescribed or purchased with guidance

3. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)

• Medications like Dapoxetine (Priligy) or Paroxetine delay ejaculation by boosting serotonin
• Effects can be on-demand (1–3 hours before sex) or daily

4. TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy)

• For men with low testosterone, TRT may indirectly help control climax by improving confidence, mood, and stamina

5. Penile Sensitivity Management

• For men with heightened nerve sensitivity, clinics may recommend desensitization injections, nerve modulation techniques, or shockwave therapy
