Introduction
When penile glans hypersensitivity occurs, topical Western medications such as lidocaine ointment or sedative agents may be applied. However, it is essential to first rule out any underlying organic conditions—for example, balanitis—since inflammatory stimulation can also cause glans hypersensitivity. Patients with such conditions require anti-infective and anti-inflammatory treatment; once the underlying disease resolves, glans sensitivity typically improves.
The glans penis is a highly sensitive erogenous zone in males. Intense stimulation of the glans can easily trigger the sensation of ejaculation. Many individuals experience significant work-related stress in daily life, which may substantially increase glans sensitivity and shorten ejaculatory latency—severely impairing sexual satisfaction for both partners. So, how can heightened glans sensitivity be addressed? Below, we provide answers to this question.
How to Address Heightened Glans Sensitivity
When heightened glans sensitivity occurs, topical application of the Western medication lidocaine ointment—or other local anesthetic agents—may help reduce sensitivity. However, it is essential first to rule out underlying pathological conditions—for instance, balanitis (inflammation of the glans), as inflammatory irritation itself can heighten sensitivity. Such cases require anti-infective and anti-inflammatory treatment; once the underlying condition resolves, glans sensitivity typically improves. Additionally, assess whether phimosis or redundant prepuce is present: chronic lack of external stimulation due to prolonged coverage by excess foreskin may also contribute to increased sensitivity. In such cases, circumcision may be considered. During intercourse, using condoms provides a physical barrier that helps reduce direct stimulation. Furthermore, minimizing psychological stress, maintaining relaxation, and engaging in regular physical exercise are all beneficial.

1. Kegel Exercises (Pelvic Floor Muscle Training)
Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor and adductor muscles of the inner thighs—including those surrounding the genitalia—thereby helping to delay ejaculation. Perform three sets daily, with 50 slow, controlled, and forceful contractions per set.
2. Dietary Adjustment
Incorporate foods known to support sexual function—such as Chinese chives, lamb, oysters, and other shellfish—to supply essential nutrients, enhance renal function, and sustain healthy sexual performance.
The above outlines strategies for managing heightened glans sensitivity. We hope this information proves helpful to you.
