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.
PE diagnosis is primarily history-based — no physical examination is required in most cases. This makes it an ideal condition for telehealth.
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.
noah™ has streamlined the pathway from problem recognition to effective treatment.
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
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
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
We understand that PE is one of the most sensitive health topics, and we take privacy extremely seriously.
PE treatment is relatively affordable. Dapoxetine (generic) costs approximately SGD $5–15 per dose, while branded Priligy is slightly more. Daily SSRIs used off-label for PE cost SGD $15–40 per month (generic). noah™ PE treatment plans start from SGD $40/month including consultation and medication.
Prices are approximate and may vary. Updated April 2026.
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.
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.
Most men receive a treatment recommendation within hours of completing the health assessment. Medication delivery takes 1–3 business days within Singapore.
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.
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.
