Who qualifies for topical lidocaine

When you complete your online medical questionnaire, our EU-licensed doctors assess several factors to determine if topical lidocaine is appropriate for you. They look for:

• A clear diagnosis or history of premature ejaculation.
• No known allergies to lidocaine or other local anesthetics.
• No significant skin conditions or open wounds on the penis that could be exacerbated by the application.
• No contraindications that might make the treatment unsafe for your specific health profile.

The doctor reviews your full medical history to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your individual circumstances.

What topical lidocaine actually does (and doesn't do)

Topical lidocaine is a local anesthetic. It works by temporarily numbing the nerve endings in the penis, reducing sensitivity to stimulation. This allows you to have more control over your ejaculatory reflex, helping to delay ejaculation and potentially increase sexual satisfaction for both you and your partner. It's available in creams, gels, and sprays.

What it doesn't do: Topical lidocaine does not cure premature ejaculation. It is an on-demand treatment, meaning its effects are temporary and last only for the duration of its action after application. It does not address underlying psychological causes of PE, though it can help manage the symptoms effectively.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally safe, topical lidocaine can have side effects. The most common is a temporary reduction in penile sensitivity, which could sometimes lead to difficulty maintaining an erection or reduced pleasure. There's also a risk of transferring the lidocaine to your partner, potentially causing numbness for them; using a condom can prevent this. Some users might experience mild skin irritation, burning, or itching. In rare cases, allergic reactions can occur, presenting as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience severe side effects or an allergic reaction, stop use immediately and seek medical attention. Always follow the recommended dosage to avoid excessive numbness.
