Transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation may be beneficial in the treatment of premature ejaculation

Approximately 20 –30% of sexually active men suffer from Premature Ejaculation (PE), but the pathophysiology still remains unclear and the current available treatments for PE are unsatisfying. Considering the role of rhythmic bulbospongiosus and ischiocavernosus Muscles contractions on the ejaculatory reflex, we h ypothesize that weakening this muscles via inhibiting it’s contractions by Application of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation prior to the planned sexual activity, may have a beneficial effect in the treatment of PE.
