Premature ejaculation treatment in Canada

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual health concern where ejaculation happens sooner than you'd like during sexual activity. It can affect confidence, relationships, and overall sexual satisfaction.

PE is one of the most common sexual health concerns among men. Many experience it at some point in their lives, whether occasionally or on an ongoing basis.

PE can have several possible causes, including psychological, relationship, behavioural, and physical factors. Stress, anxiety, and certain health conditions may also play a role. A healthcare provider can assess your symptoms and determine whether further evaluation is needed.

The risks and potential side effects depend on the treatment being considered and your individual health history. A licensed Canadian healthcare provider will determine whether prescription treatment is appropriate for you.

Yes. Eligible adults can complete a secure online assessment for premature ejaculation through Phoenix. A licensed Canadian healthcare provider will review your information and determine whether your concern can be assessed online. They may ask for additional details or recommend another type of care if needed.

No. Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction are different conditions. PE involves ejaculating sooner than intended, often with reduced control or associated distress. Erectile dysfunction is difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. Although they are different concerns, they can occur together.

No. Completing an assessment does not guarantee that a prescription will be issued. A licensed Canadian healthcare provider will review your health information and make an independent clinical decision. If prescription treatment isn't appropriate, they may recommend another care option.

The provider may review when your symptoms began, how often they occur, how much control you have over ejaculation, how the concern affects you, whether you have any erection-related concerns, your medical history, current medications, and other relevant health information. They may also request additional details before making a care decision.

Seek assessment through another healthcare provider if you experience painful ejaculation, notice blood in your semen, develop new urinary or genital symptoms, have concerns about a sexually transmitted infection, or need a physical examination or diagnostic testing. If you're experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. Phoenix is not an emergency medical service.
