Description

What is Emla cream?

Emla cream is a combination of two topical anaesthetics used to desensitise or numb an area. It has become very popular recently for the treatment of a condition called premature ejaculation (PE). Premature ejaculation is when a man ejaculates too quickly with a little sexual stimulation. It is one of the most common problems men face around the world.

Therefore, Emla cream when applied to the sensitive area of your penis before intercourse, it reduces sensitivity and increase the time of ejaculation.

How does Emla work?

Emla cream contains two local anaesthetics, lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%. These two active ingredients work by temporarily numbing or desensitising the nerve endings in the skin. When applied to the glans (head) and/or shaft of the penis, it reduces the sensation in the penis and reduces sensitivity. By lowering skin sensitivity, Emla helps delay ejaculation and improve confidence.

How to use Emla cream for PE

To use Emla cream for premature ejaculation, these are some general steps that must be followed

• First of all, wash and dry the genital area thoroughly.
• Apply a pea-sized amount (usually 0.5g to 1g) to the underside of the head and neck of penis.
• Next, wait at least 10 to 20 minutes before intimacy.
• Ensure you clean any excess cream before intercourse, as it can easily transfer to your partner and create desensitisation
• It is recommended to start with the lowest effective dose. Using too much can lead to excessive numbness or reduced sexual pleasure.
