PE Treatment Options Available in Kenya

Various effective treatments for premature ejaculation are available in Kenya, from behavioral techniques to medications. Understanding options helps men choose appropriate approaches for their situation.

Behavioral techniques are first-line treatment and cost nothing. The stop-start method involves pausing stimulation before ejaculation. The squeeze technique applies pressure to delay climax. These require practice but provide lasting results.

Pelvic floor exercises strengthen muscles controlling ejaculation. Like exercises for women after childbirth, men can train these muscles. Contract as if stopping urine flow, hold 5 seconds, release. Do 10-20 repetitions three times daily.

Topical anesthetics reduce sensitivity. EMLA cream, available in Kenyan pharmacies with prescription, numbs the penis slightly. Apply 20-30 minutes before intercourse. Delay sprays are available over-the-counter for KES 1,000-2,000.

Dapoxetine (Priligy) is specifically designed for PE. Take 1-3 hours before sex. It's available in major pharmacies but expensive at KES 500-1,000 per tablet. Generic versions are becoming available.

Antidepressants prescribed off-label can help. Sertraline, paroxetine, and fluoxetine delay ejaculation as a side effect. Daily dosing costs KES 1,000-2,000 monthly. Doctors increasingly recognize this use.

Tramadol, a painkiller, may help but isn't first-line treatment. It has addiction potential and side effects. Only use under strict medical supervision.

Counseling addresses psychological factors. Some hospitals and private clinics offer psychosexual therapy. Costs range from KES 2,000-5,000 per session. Group therapy is sometimes available at lower cost.

Traditional remedies lack evidence but some men report benefits. These should complement, not replace, proven treatments. Discuss with healthcare providers.

Combination approaches often work best. Behavioral techniques with topical treatment or medication provide comprehensive management.

Online consultation services increasingly offer PE treatment, providing privacy for embarrassed men.
