Folic acid supplementation as adjunctive treatment premature ejaculation.
Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs), has been increasingly used for the treatment of premature ejaculation over the past 5 years. It was reported that folic acid plays important roles in synthesis of 5-HT. Therefore, we hypothesize that folic acid supplementation may cures premature ejaculation by the same mechanism of interacting with monoamine neurotransmitters in brain, to be the replacement of RRSIs. Folic acid supplementation cures premature ejaculation more safely. These new views will help to understand the diagnosis and treatment methods for premature ejaculation.
