Outcome of hyaluronic acid gel injection in glans penis for treatment of lifelong premature ejaculation: A pilot study.

Objective: To assess safety and efficacy of hyaluronic acid (HA) gel injection in glans penis for treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) using our new five puncture technique. Patients and methods: This is a prospective, non-randomized clinical trial on HA gel injection in glans penis for all patients with lifelong PE; all patients were circumcised having heterosexual normal marital life and sexually active. Patients with history of ejaculatory medication use within the previous 3 months, psychiatric disorders, erectile dysfunction, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to prostatitis and acquired PE were excluded from the study. A local anesthetic was applied to the skin of glans penis for 30 minutes before the injection of 2 ml HA in glans penis via 30-gauge needle using our new Five-puncture technique. Intra-vaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) was measured at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after injection. Results: Thirty patients completed our study follow up schedule. Mean age of the patients was 41.72 ± 8.50, while mean age of female partner was 37.23 ± 8.54 years. IELT was highly significantly increased ( Conclusion: HA gel injection in glans penis using our new five-puncture technique is a safe and effective method that ensures a modest long-term significant increase in IELT and improves ejaculatory control.
