Let's start by explaining that premature ejaculation is one of the most common male sexual health concerns, affecting approximately 30% of men at some point.
What is Premature ejaculation ?
Premature ejaculation is defined as ejaculation that occurs within one minute of vaginal penetration, or before the individual wishes it to happen, causing distress or frustration. It is classified into two types: lifelong premature ejaculation, which has been present since first sexual experiences, and acquired premature ejaculation, which develops later in life.
What Causes Premature ejaculation ?
The causes of lifelong premature ejaculation are not fully understood but may include neurobiological factors, genetic predisposition, heightened penile sensitivity, or psychological influences. Anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and performance concerns can also contribute to the condition. For many men, premature ejaculation can affect confidence, intimacy, and quality of life.
What are the treatment options for premature ejaculation
Traditional treatment options include behavioural techniques such as the stop-start method and squeeze technique, topical delay sprays containing local anaesthetic, and oral medications including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. These approaches work for some men but may not be effective for everyone, particularly those with lifelong premature ejaculation.
When conventional treatments have not provided adequate results, hyaluronic acid injection into the glans penis offers an alternative approach. This procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid beneath the skin of the glans to reduce sensitivity and help delay ejaculation. Studies indicate success rates of approximately 60% in men with lifelong premature ejaculation.
Who performs the treatment ?
The treatment is performed by one of our experienced urologists under local anaesthetic and takes around twenty minutes. The effects typically last about one year, though this varies between individuals, and repeat treatments can be arranged as needed. At Moorgate Andrology, we offer a free consultation with a urologist to discuss whether this procedure is suitable for you.
What are the risks ?
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications to consider. These may include temporary swelling, bruising, discomfort at the injection site, infection, or uneven results. Rarely, some men may experience reduced sensation or dissatisfaction with the outcome. Your urologist will discuss these considerations with you during your consultation.

Hyaluronic Acid Treatment for Premature Ejaculation
At Moorgate Andrology, we offer an effective treatment option for men experiencing lifelong premature ejaculation who have not found success with traditional approaches.
This treatment involves the careful injection of hyaluronic acid into the glans of the penis, performed by our experienced urologists.
The procedure is designed to help delay ejaculation by reducing sensitivity in the glans area, providing men with greater control during intimate moments.
The treatment is performed under local anaesthetic in a comfortable clinical setting and typically takes around twenty minutes from start to finish.
Clinical studies indicate that this treatment is successful in approximately 60% of cases, making it a viable option for men who have exhausted other methods.
This procedure is often considered when other treatment options such as delay sprays, topical anaesthetics, and oral medications have failed to provide satisfactory results.
At Moorgate Andrology, we understand the sensitive nature of premature ejaculation and provide a discreet, professional environment where men can discuss their concerns openly.
We offer a complimentary consultation with one of our urologists to assess your suitability for the procedure and discuss expected outcomes tailored to your individual circumstances.
The effects of hyaluronic acid treatment are not permanent, and the treatment typically needs repeating approximately once a year, though this varies between individuals depending on how long the hyaluronic acid lasts in their body.
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications to consider. These may include temporary swelling, bruising at the injection site, infection, or in rare cases, an allergic reaction to the hyaluronic acid. Our urologists will discuss all potential risks with you during your consultation to ensure you can make an informed decision about your treatment.
Does Hyaluronic Acid Treatment for Premature Ejaculation Work?
One of the first questions we always get asked at Moorgate Andrology is: Does hyaluronic acid treatment for premature ejaculation work?
Many men still find it hard to believe that they can actually gain better ejaculatory control through this treatment.
Sometimes this is because they have already tried numerous delay sprays, medications and behavioural techniques, which have not provided the lasting results they hoped for. Their concerns that nothing can help them achieve better control is understandable.
The key to understanding this treatment is to look at the clinical evidence. Studies demonstrate that hyaluronic acid injections into the glans penis can successfully delay ejaculation in around 60% of cases.
If you are prepared to explore alternative options first, you could consider topical delay sprays or oral medications such as SSRIs. Both methods are based on reducing penile sensitivity or modulating neurotransmitters. They can improve ejaculatory control in some men, depending on your individual response and consistent use.
In truth, many men find that these conservative approaches provide insufficient improvement or come with unwanted side effects after several months of trial.
At Moorgate Andrology, we see many men who have already tried delay sprays and medications when they come to us for hyaluronic acid treatment.
Hyaluronic acid injection therapy has become an established option in recent years. Advances in injection techniques have meant that results are reasonably predictable in terms of reducing glans sensitivity and delaying ejaculation. The treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the glans penis under local anaesthetic. This is performed by one of our experienced urologists in approximately twenty minutes. The procedure works by creating a subtle cushioning layer beneath the glans skin, which reduces hypersensitivity. Men who have this treatment typically struggle with lifelong premature ejaculation that has not responded adequately to other interventions.
The effects of hyaluronic acid treatment typically last between twelve months and two years, depending on individual metabolism and how the body absorbs the filler material.
Another important consideration is that this treatment requires maintenance. The hyaluronic acid gradually breaks down over time, so repeat treatments are usually needed once a year to maintain the benefits, though this varies between individuals.
