Scientists Test Possible Treatment for Premature Ejaculation
Benzocaine, a topical anesthetic often used to treat pain and itching, might also help men with premature ejaculation (PE).
In a two-month study of 21 heterosexual men with PE, men who used benzocaine wipes could "last" longer than those who used a placebo wipe.
The men in the treatment group said they felt more control over their ejaculation, less sexual distress, and improved sexual satisfaction.
Benzocaine is still not an approved treatment for PE, however. Men who have trouble ejaculating should see their doctor.
