Suffering From Premature Ejaculation. Is This Curable?

Question: Can premature ejaculation be treated?
Hi,
Thanks for your health concerns.
Certainly, there are treatments available for this urologic entity, that can be formulated according to the patient,
1) Non-medication approaches: meditation and Tantra, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, sexual therapy including inducing ejaculation 1-2 hours prior to intercourse
2) Medication approaches: SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, known as antidepressants), topical anesthetics
A combination of these therapies is usually succesful, so would advise you to get in contact with a health provider, which could be a sexual therapist (psychologist)
Hope that is useful, wish you the best health,
