Penile glans hypersensitivity commonly leads to premature ejaculation. The simplest initial approach is using condoms, which reduce glans sensitivity. Pharmacological treatments—including topical anesthetics and various delay sprays—may also be employed. Additionally, dietary therapy can help; regularly consuming foods believed to enhance sexual function (e.g., aphrodisiacs) may be beneficial. It is essential to strengthen physical fitness through regular exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) approaches, such as acupuncture, may also be considered.
