Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Ginseng, particularly Panax ginseng, has a long history in traditional East Asian medicine for enhancing sexual function and vitality, including use for premature ejaculation (PE). Traditional practices in China and Korea have included ginseng in herbal formulas intended to improve male sexual performance and stamina. Some modern clinical studies have explored the effects of ginseng on various aspects of sexual health, with a few small trials suggesting possible benefits for erectile function, but robust evidence specifically for premature ejaculation is limited.

A handful of studies have looked at topical applications of ginseng creams or gels for PE and reported some improvement in intravaginal ejaculatory latency times compared to placebo. However, these studies are generally small, short-term, and may have methodological limitations. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses generally conclude that while there is some promise, the evidence base is not strong enough to recommend ginseng as an effective treatment for PE on scientific grounds.

Overall, the use of ginseng for premature ejaculation is primarily justified by traditional use, with limited scientific support. More rigorous and larger-scale clinical trials are needed to establish efficacy and safety for this specific indication.
