In general, problems such as premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and sexual reluctance, which we see most often, can be treated with different methods.

In the problem of premature ejaculation, medical drugs (antidepressants), creams with local anesthetic effect and sexual therapy methods are used. Drugs that reduce the production of phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme, vacuum devices, injections applied directly to the penis, penile prostheses are applied when necessary.

In the treatment of sexual reluctance, hormone replacement therapy is applied if there is low testosterone hormone in the blood.
