Premature ejaculation is a common problem experienced by many men that can negatively affect the pleasure and satisfaction gained from sexual intercourse. The selective dorsal neurotomy treatment performed in our urology clinic offers a safe and effective solution for overcoming premature ejaculation. So what is selective dorsal neurotomy and how can it solve premature ejaculation?
What Is Selective Dorsal Neurotomy?
Selective dorsal neurotomy is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing sensitivity in the glans (head of the penis). One of the main causes of premature ejaculation is excessive sensitivity of the glans. In this procedure, specific nerves to the glans are cut to reduce sensitivity and thereby prolong the time to ejaculation. Because it provides a permanent solution, selective dorsal neurotomy stands out as an effective option for men who have not responded to conventional treatment methods.
How Is Selective Dorsal Neurotomy Performed?
Selective dorsal neurotomy is a surgical procedure performed under local or general anaesthesia and takes approximately one hour. During the procedure some of the nerves leading to the glans are selectively cut. In this way sensitivity is brought under control and the time to ejaculation is extended. After the procedure the patient is usually discharged the same day and can return to a normal sex life within a few weeks.
Who Is Suitable for Selective Dorsal Neurotomy?
This procedure is suitable for men who have not obtained results from other premature ejaculation treatments (medication, therapy, etc.) and who are looking for a more permanent solution. Before selective dorsal neurotomy, the patient's medical history and the degree of premature ejaculation are evaluated by our specialist urologists to determine whether the person is suitable for the procedure.
Advantages of Selective Dorsal Neurotomy
Because it offers a permanent solution with long-term results, selective dorsal neurotomy is a popular option among men with premature ejaculation. Some of the advantages of this procedure are:
- Permanent solution: dorsal neurotomy provides permanent control of sensitivity by selectively cutting the nerves.
- Fast recovery: the patient can return to daily life shortly after surgery.
- Safe and effective: performed by a specialist urologist, this procedure is an effective and safe method for premature ejaculation.
