Individual approachEvery experience is different

Talking to someone about premature ejaculation (PE) for the first time can feel awkward. This page explains what a first consultation with our practitioner usually involves, so that there are no surprises. It is general information about how we work, and it makes no promise about results.

How a first consultation usually goes

  1. Before you come: think about when the problem began and what you have tried
  2. The conversation about your history and what you are experiencing
  3. A discussion of whether an examination is needed
  4. A plan talked through together, with referral on where needed
  5. Follow-up after the consultation

A first consultation is a private, one-on-one conversation with George, in person in Sandton or by video. It usually takes between 30 minutes and an hour.

01

Before you come

  • You do not need to prepare anything formal. It helps to think about when the problem began and what, if anything, you have tried.
  • Make a list of any medicines, supplements or herbal products you take.
  • Bring any recent test results or doctor’s letters, if you have them.
  • Write down your questions.
  • You can come alone or with a partner. This is your choice.

02

The conversation (what you will be asked)

Most of a first consultation is a conversation. You can expect questions about:

  • When the problem started, and whether it has always been there or came on later.
  • How often it happens, and how you feel about it.
  • Your general health, any other medical conditions and any medicines you take.
  • Erections, desire and other aspects of your sexual health.
  • Stress, mood and sleep.
  • How it affects your relationship, if you have one.
  • What you hope for from the consultation.

You do not have to answer anything you do not want to. Nothing you say will be judged.

03

Whether an examination is needed

A consultation is a conversation and a review of your history and any blood results you already have. George does not run diagnostic tests on site. If an examination or test is needed, he refers you to a doctor.

A naturopath does not diagnose medical causes of PE. If a physical examination or a test is needed, you will be advised to see a doctor. See when to see a doctor.

04

Confidentiality

What you tell us is treated as confidential. Please read our privacy policy to see how personal information is handled. Please note that we will not share your details with anyone else without your agreement, except where the law requires it.

[DRAFT: George to confirm the confidentiality wording above, including the exception, matches what is in the privacy policy and professional rules.]

05

What a plan can include

After listening to you, our practitioner may suggest a plan that can include education about PE, lifestyle guidance, practical techniques you can try, support with anxiety and communication, and a recommendation to see a doctor or therapist where appropriate. The plan is shaped around you, and no particular result is promised. See the overview of treatment options and what the evidence says about natural approaches.

06

When you will be referred on

  • PE began suddenly, or you have pain, urinary symptoms or blood in the urine or semen.
  • You have trouble with erections.
  • You would like to consider a medicine. Only a doctor can prescribe it.
  • Anxiety or low mood is significant, and you could benefit from a therapist. See sex therapy and counselling.

We do not prescribe medicines, perform tests or diagnose medical conditions.

07

After the consultation

You should leave knowing what is likely to be going on, what your options are and what to try next, and with the chance to ask questions. You can come back for a follow-up, or contact us if you have questions in between. When you are ready, book an appointment.

You leave with a written plan, and follow-up is part of the process. You can reach us afterwards by phone, WhatsApp or the contact page.
