Introduction
Premature ejaculation is arguably the most embarrassing sexual health condition for men to discuss in person. Studies consistently show that fewer than 10% of men with PE seek medical treatment, primarily due to embarrassment. Online telehealth platforms like noah™ address this directly — providing the same quality of medical care without the awkward face-to-face conversation.
Why Online Works Perfectly for PE
PE diagnosis is primarily history-based — no physical examination is required in most cases. This makes it an ideal condition for telehealth.
Diagnostic Process
PE is diagnosed through: - Symptom history — ejaculatory latency, frequency, duration of problem - Questionnaires — standardised tools like the PE Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) - Impact assessment — distress level, relationship effects, quality of life - Medical history — medications, conditions, previous treatments
All of these can be captured through a well-designed online health assessment — no different from what a doctor would ask in a clinic.
The noah™ PE Process
noah™ has streamlined the pathway from problem recognition to effective treatment.
Step 1: Health Assessment (5–10 minutes)
A structured questionnaire covering: - Ejaculatory latency (how long you typically last) - Sense of control over ejaculation - Frequency and consistency of PE - Impact on you and your relationship - Medical conditions, medications, and allergies - Previous treatment attempts - Whether PE is lifelong or acquired
Step 2: Doctor Review
An SMC-registered doctor evaluates your assessment and determines: - Type of PE (lifelong, acquired, variable, subjective) - Severity - Most appropriate treatment approach - Any need for further investigation
Step 3: Treatment Plan
Your doctor creates a personalised plan which may include: - Medication (dapoxetine, SSRI, topical, or combination) - Behavioural technique recommendations - Lifestyle advice (exercise, stress management) - Follow-up schedule
Step 4: Medication Delivery
- HSA-registered medications from licensed pharmacy partners
- Discreet, unmarked packaging — no indication of contents
- Free delivery within Singapore
- Typically arrives within 1–3 business days
Step 5: Ongoing Support
- Message your doctor anytime with questions or concerns
- Dose adjustments as needed
- Regular check-ins to assess progress
- No additional consultation fees for follow-ups

FAQ
1. Can the doctor properly assess PE without seeing me in person?
Yes. PE is diagnosed through history and symptom questionnaires, not physical examination. The international gold standard (ISSM guidelines) uses exactly the kind of structured assessment that noah™ provides online1.
2. What if I need to switch medications?
Simply message your noah™ doctor through the platform. Medication changes can be made without a new consultation fee. Your doctor may recommend trying a different SSRI, adjusting the dose, or adding a topical treatment.
3. How quickly can I get treatment?
Most men receive a treatment recommendation within hours of completing the health assessment. Medication delivery takes 1–3 business days within Singapore.
4. Is this more expensive than seeing a GP?
noah™ plans are competitively priced and include consultation, medication, and follow-up — often cheaper than the combined cost of separate GP visits and pharmacy purchases.
5. What if I have both PE and ED?
noah™ treats both conditions. Your doctor can create a combined treatment plan — for example, an SSRI for PE with tadalafil for ED. This is a common and clinically appropriate combination.
