Men's Health  /  Premature Ejaculation

Finishing too soon is common, and treatable.

Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual concerns men have, and one of the least talked about. We offer private, practical care that combines topical and oral medication with pelvic floor physiotherapy.

Does this sound familiar

You're far from alone

Many men experience premature ejaculation at some point. It's a medical concern, not a personal failing.

“It's always been this way.”

Lifelong PE

Ejaculation happens very quickly, from the first sexual experiences onward.

“It used to be fine, and then it changed.”

Acquired PE

It started later in life, sometimes alongside erection problems, prostate issues, stress, or a new relationship.

“I'm so worried about it that it gets worse.”

Anxiety and pressure

Worry about performance can create a cycle that makes it harder to last.

“It's affecting my relationship.”

Impact on intimacy

Frustration, avoiding sex, or tension with a partner are common and worth addressing.

Our approach

A private, step-by-step plan

We start by understanding the pattern, then build a plan that fits you and your partner.

Assess

A confidential conversation about your history, plus a check for ED, prostate, or thyroid issues.

Treat

Topical or oral medication and pelvic floor physiotherapy, based on what fits you.

Follow up

We check in, adjust the plan, and treat related concerns along the way.

Treatment options

What actually helps

Most men do best with a combination of approaches.

Medication

Topical & oral medication

Numbing sprays or creams applied shortly before sex reduce sensitivity, and certain oral medications, taken daily or a few hours before sex, can delay ejaculation. If ED is part of the picture, treating it often helps too.

  • Chosen based on your health and other medications
  • Using a condom with topicals avoids numbing your partner
  • Reviewed at follow-up

Physiotherapy

Pelvic floor physiotherapy

Our physiotherapy team teaches you to control the muscles involved in ejaculation, which can improve timing and confidence.

  • Private, one-on-one assessment
  • A home program you can do anywhere
  • Works well alongside medication

PE and ED often go together. Some men rush to finish because they're worried about losing their erection. Treating the erection problem can make a big difference to timing.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What counts as premature ejaculation?

There's no stopwatch test. If you ejaculate sooner than you'd like most of the time and it bothers you or your partner, it's worth discussing.

Is it a psychological problem?

It can be physical, psychological, or both. That's why we look at your overall health and also give you practical tools for the anxiety side.

Can my partner come to the appointment?

Yes, if you'd like. Many couples find it helpful, but it's completely your choice.

Is my visit confidential?

Yes. Your visit is private, and you'll see the same small team from your first appointment through follow-up.

A private conversation is the first step.

Book a consultation and we'll talk through what's going on and build a plan that works for you.
