What Is Dorsal Cryoablation?
The dorsal penile nerve carries sensation from the penis to the nervous system. During cryoablation, a clinician uses a medical probe to apply controlled cooling near selected sensory branches of this nerve. The aim is to reduce sensitivity that may contribute to early ejaculation in some men.
How Does It Work?
Assessment
The clinician reviews when symptoms began, your ability to delay ejaculation, your erectile function, and the treatments you’ve tried.
Targeted cooling
After local anesthesia, the clinician applies cooling to the selected area to reduce the transmission of some sensory signals.
Follow-up.
The clinician asks about the time to ejaculation, how much control you feel, and any changes in sensation.
How Does It Work?
The cooling session itself takes about 20 minutes under local anesthesia using our clinic’s technique. The assessment comes first. Afterward, your clinician explains aftercare and when to resume sexual activity.
Who Is This Technique For?
A specialist may discuss dorsal cryoablation with men who have had difficulty delaying ejaculation from their earliest sexual experiences and have seen little improvement with standard treatments. If the problem started recently or occurs alongside erectile difficulties, the first step is to look for contributing causes.
Dorsal cryoablation for premature ejaculation is experimental. International recommendations limit its use to clinical trials approved by an ethics committee.
Results and Clinic Follow-Up
Case 1 — From ejaculation at penetration to about 90 seconds
Before the procedure, ejaculation occurred at or just after penetration. At follow-up, the time was about 90 seconds.
Case 2 — From 1 minute to about 4 minutes
ِAt follow-upThe time was 1 minute before the procedure, 18 minutes at an early measurement, 8 minutes at a later assessment, and about 4 minutes at the latest reported follow-up. Local anesthesia may have contributed to the early reading. The patient later reported a gradual improvement in his ability to delay ejaculation.These are individual follow-up observations. The time to ejaculation and the ability to delay it are assessed separately.
