The Role of Vardenafil in Sexual Performance

It is fast acting (within 5 min) and appears to be effective in improving the IELT and sexual satisfaction in patients with PE.

Factor	Data / Observation	Implication
Confidence boost	65% of users report increased confidence	Enhances sexual performance self-esteem
Satisfaction rate	75-80% satisfaction among users	Encourages use for PE management
Anxiety reduction	50% report decreased pre-sexual anxiety	Contributes to better outcomes
Placebo effect	20-30% report improvement without medication	Importance of psychological factors

It does not penetrate keratinised epithelium, and so only anaesthetises the glans, with no systemic side-effects and a low incidence of local side-effects [Citation108,Citation109]. Dyclonine is a local anaesthetic usually used in the field of dentistry. It has been combined with the vasodilator alprostadil and used to treat PE. The product is applied 5–20 min before intercourse to the tip of the penis in the region of the meatus.

Other forms of PDE5 inhibitors have been used for the treatment of PE. The administration tadalafil 20 mg within 36 h before planned sexual intercourse combined with fluoxetine 90 mg once per buy fildena 100 online week for 12 weeks in patients with lifelong PE resulted in significant increase in the IELT when compared to fluoxetine or tadalafil alone [Citation51]. The on-demand administration of 10 mg vardenafil for 16 weeks provided significant increase of IELT and reduced post-ejaculatory refractory time in men with lifelong PE [Citation119]. Improvement in confidence, perception of ejaculatory control and overall sexual satisfaction were reported. The use of 5 mg tadalafil once daily plus lidocaine anaesthetic spray in treatment of lifelong PE was more effective than tadalafil alone or lidocaine anaesthetic spray alone [Citation120].

Paroxetine (Paxil®) for PE

In a single- blind placebo-controlled clinical study, the combined use of on-demand dapoxetine (30 mg) with sildenafil (50 mg) for patients with PE for 6 weeks had the best values of IELT and satisfaction scores in comparison with dapoxetine alone or sildenafil alone [Citation88]. Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic with two mechanisms of action. It exerts an effect on the μ-opioid receptor, but also inhibits noradrenaline and serotonin reuptake. Its mechanism of action in PE is poorly understood; however, it is thought to be related to its action on the μ-opioid receptor, which may reduce sensitivity, as well as the inhibition of serotonin reuptake, which may delay ejaculation. It has a safety profile that is well tolerated with few side-effects [Citation121]. One pilot study claimed positive results with it; however, the data were limited and further studies are warranted before conclusions can be made [Citation110]. Several clinical trials have examined the potential effectiveness of the PDE5 inhibitor, sildenafil, in the treatment of PE. The rationale for the use of PDE5 inhibitors in the treatment of PE may be due to peripheral and/or central mechanisms.

Ejaculation retarding by peripheral actions may include modulation of contractile response of vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and urethra, induction of a state of peripheral analgesia, and prolongation of the total duration of erection. Central mechanisms may involve lessening of the central sympathetic output [Citation111]. The on-demand administration of 50–100 mg sildenafil citrate for 1–3 months, in patients with PE complicated by ED, was found to safely and effectively improve erectile function and prolong ejaculation [Citation112]. In addition, sildenafil citrate increased confidence, perception of ejaculatory control, and overall sexual satisfaction, and decreased the refractory time to achieve a second erection after ejaculation in men with PE [Citation113]. It has also been shown that sildenafil combined with behavioural therapy produced more prolongation of the IELT and better male and female satisfaction than behavioural therapy alone in the treatment of patients with PE [Citation114]. On-demand administration of 50 mg sildenafil 1 h before planned sexual activity combined with 10 mg paroxetine daily for 3 weeks and then 20 mg on demand, for 6 months provided significant increases in the ILET and intercourse satisfaction than paroxetine alone in potent patients with PE. However, combined treatment is associated with a mild increase in drug-related side-effects (headache and flushing episodes) [Citation115]. Sildenafil citrate combined with paroxetine and psychological and behavioural counselling alleviated PE in patients in whom other treatments failed [Citation116]. Administration of 50 mg sildenafil on-demand 1 h before planned sexual activity combined with 50 mg sertraline daily, for 12 weeks produced more prolongation of the IELT, and better male and female satisfaction than sertraline alone in patients with PE [Citation117].

Central mechanisms may involve lessening of the central sympathetic output [Citation111]. Furthermore, the on-demand administration of 50 mg sildenafil citrate 1 h before planned sexual activity for 6 months in patients with PE provided significant increases in the IELT and intercourse satisfaction than 20 mg paroxetine daily and the squeeze technique. However, adverse effects were more frequent in the sildenafil and paroxetine groups compared to the squeeze technique group. The most frequent adverse effects for sildenafil were headache and nasal congestion [Citation118].

Erectile Dysfunction

Administration of 50 mg tramadol HCl 2 h before planned sexual activity for 8 weeks, resulted in a significant increase of IELT and intercourse satisfaction vs placebo [Citation55]. Administration of 25 mg tramadol, 1–2 h before planned sexual activity for 8 weeks, significantly increased the IELT and intercourse satisfaction [Citation121]. Administration of 50 mg tramadol with behavioural modification, 2 h before planned sexual activity for 8 weeks resulted in significant improvement in the IELT and overall sexual satisfaction [Citation122]. On-demand administration of 62 mg tramadol (oral disintegrating tablet), 2–8 h before planned sexual intercourse for 12 weeks in patients with mild to severe PE resulted in significant increase in the IELT, improvement in overall sexual satisfaction and control over ejaculation, and decreased ejaculation-related personal distress and interpersonal difficulty [Citation123]. As tramadol is an opioid, with weak µ-opioid activity, there are concerns about its abuse and dependence.

Topical therapy (anaesthetics)

Long-term studies are needed to determine the verifiable cheapest ed pills risk of opioid addiction [Citation9,Citation124]. Glans augmentation has been a technique proposed to desensitise the glans penis and slow the ejaculatory reflex. It is a method in which hyaluronic acid is injected into the glans at the coronal edge to provide analgesia of the penis. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan and bulking agent that has been used to insulate the nerve endings and provide long-term (>1 year) local anaesthesia. It was reported to increase the IELT and satisfaction in patients with PE [Citation125,Citation126]. Other forms of PDE5 inhibitors have been used for the treatment of PE. The administration tadalafil 20 mg within 36 h before planned sexual intercourse combined with fluoxetine 90 mg once per buy fildena 100 online week for 12 weeks in patients with lifelong PE resulted in significant increase in the IELT when compared to fluoxetine or tadalafil alone [Citation51]. The on-demand administration of 10 mg vardenafil for 16 weeks provided significant increase of IELT and reduced post-ejaculatory refractory time in men with lifelong PE [Citation119]. Improvement in confidence, perception of ejaculatory control and overall sexual satisfaction were reported. The use of 5 mg tadalafil once daily plus lidocaine anaesthetic spray in treatment of lifelong PE was more effective than tadalafil alone or lidocaine anaesthetic spray alone [Citation120].

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

Dorsal neurectomy with or without glandular augmentation with hyaluronic acid gel has been reported for treatment of refractory PE. It showed a significant increase in the IELT and patient satisfaction but associated with significant side-effects, including penile numbness, paraesthesia and pain [Citation125]. It has been reported that selective neurotomy of the dorsal penile nerve preserved potency and decreased sensitivity [Citation127]. Pulsed radiofrequency neuromodulation has been used for treatment of PE by desensitisation of the dorsal penile nerves. It showed a significant increase in the IELT in patients with PE.

Efficacy of sertraline in treatment of PE

There were no reported side-effects post-procedure such as pain, penile hypoesthesia, or ED [Citation128]. Frenectomy has been studied as pills to increase sex drive male a possible surgical therapy for PE because of the association of PE with a short frenulum, or frenulum breve [Citation129]. This condition can be congenital resulting from defects during sexual development or acquired secondary to excessive scarring occurring after rupture of a normal frenulum [Citation130]. It hinders complete retraction of the prepuce during erection causing a ventral curvature of the glans. It is thought that a short frenulum may illicit PE through two plausible premises: (1) an uncomfortable sense of traction during intercourse that may trigger the end of coitus, (2) being a reservoir of nerve endings that are directly exposed to the tactile stimulation during intercourse [Citation129]. Glans augmentation has been a technique proposed to desensitise the glans penis and slow the ejaculatory reflex.

However, combined treatment is associated with a mild increase in drug-related side-effects (headache and flushing episodes) [Citation115].

Sertraline (Zoloft®) for PE

Sildenafil citrate combined with paroxetine and psychological and behavioural counselling alleviated PE in patients in whom other treatments failed [Citation116]. Administration of 50 mg sildenafil on-demand 1 h before planned sexual activity combined with 50 mg sertraline daily, for 12 weeks produced more prolongation of the IELT, and better male and female satisfaction than sertraline alone in patients with PE [Citation117].

Surgical removal of foreskin remnants in incomplete circumcised adult patients with PE resulted in a significant increase in the IELT, overall sexual satisfaction, and control over ejaculation because it significantly decreased hypersensitivity of penis [Citation131].

Warning: Watch out for unreliable pills

Surgical removal of foreskin remnants in incomplete circumcised adult patients with PE resulted in a significant increase in the IELT, overall sexual satisfaction, and control over ejaculation because it significantly decreased hypersensitivity of penis [Citation131]. A higher prevalence of PE has been reported in men with varicocele for unclear reasons [Citation132,Citation133]. Some have postulated that an increase in local genital temperature or the resulting androgen disruption that occurs with varicocele could be possible explanations [Citation134]. Several studies have clearly reported an improvement in PE and testicular hormonal function in patients following varicocele ligation [Citation135,Citation136]. However, such an indication for varicocelectomy is not yet supported by any of the international guidelines of male reproduction.

Other agents

A. Adrenergic nerve blockade has been proposed as a treatment for PE. A clinical trial showed modest efficacy with alfuzosin and terazosin [Citation137]. Silodosin, a highly selective α1A-adrenoceptor antagonist and on-demand use of 4 mg silodosin orally 1 h before sexual intercourse in treatment of patients with PE was effective in improving PE profile and the IELT [Citation138]. The treatment was based on the fact that emission and ejaculation are under the influence of the sympathetic nervous system [Citation139].

B. Folic acid provides the methyl group for the conversion of methionine to S-adenosylmethionine, which itself has been shown to influence serotonin metabolism. Low folate is associated with poorer response to SSRIs. Folate deficiency is associated with decreased serotonin activity [Citation143] and folate supplementation increases cerebrospinal fluid levels of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (the main metabolite of serotonin) in folate deficient patients suffering from depression [Citation144]. Therefore, folic acid was suggested to exert a significant role in the pathogenesis of PE.
