About premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual problems men experience, and effective help is available.
Your pharmacist can talk through practical techniques and, where suitable, prescription treatment.
Treatment options
Behavioural techniques
Methods such as the stop-start and squeeze techniques help many men and can be used alongside other treatment.
