new insights on premature ejaculation a review of definition classification prevalence and treatment
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2012Co-Authors: Ege Can Serefoglu, Theodore R SaitzAbstract:There are ongoing debates about the definition, classification and prevalence of premature ejaculation (PE). The first evidence-based definition of PE was limited to heterosexual men with lifelong PE who engage in vaginal intercourse. Unfortunately, many patients with the complaint of PE do not meet these criteria. However, these men can be diagnosed as one of the PE subtypes, namely acquired PE, Natural Variable PE or premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction. Nevertheless, the validity of these subtypes has not yet been supported by evidence. The absence of a universally accepted PE definition and lack of standards for data acquisition have resulted in prevalence studies that have reported conflicting rates. The very high prevalence of 20%–30% is probably due to the vague terminology used in the definitions at the time when such surveys were conducted. Although many men may complain of PE when questioned for a population-based prevalence study, only a few of them will actively seek treatment for their complaint, even though most of these patients would define symptoms congruent with PE. The complaints of acquired PE patients may be more severe, whereas complaints of patients experiencing premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction seem to be least severe among men with various forms of PE. Although numerous treatment modalities have been proposed for management of PE, only antidepressants and topical anaesthetic creams have currently been proven to be effective. However, as none of the treatment modalities have been approved by the regulatory agencies, further studies must be carried to develop a beneficial treatment strategy for PE.

the comparison of premature ejaculation assessment questionnaires and their sensitivity for the four premature ejaculation syndromes results from the turkish society of andrology sexual health survey
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2011Co-Authors: Ege Can Serefoglu, Onder Yaman, Selahittin Cayan, Ramazan Asci, Irfan Orhan, Mustafa F Usta, Oguz Ekmekcioglu, Muammer Kendirci, Bulent Semerci, Ates KadiogluAbstract:ABSTRACT Introduction In addition to the previously defined “lifelong” and “acquired” premature ejaculation (PE), the existence of two more subtypes of PE, namely “Natural Variable PE” and “premature‐like ejaculatory dysfunction,” has been proposed. Aims To evaluate the diagnostic value of the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) and Arabic Index of Premature Ejaculation (AIPE) in a population‐based study, in relation to their sensitivity across these four different PE syndromes and to assess the Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP) scores of patients with lifelong, acquired, Natural Variable PE and premature‐like ejaculatory dysfunction. Methods Between June 2009 and December 2009, couples were randomly selected from 17 provinces of Turkey. Subjects with the complaint of ejaculating prematurely were classified as lifelong, acquired, Natural Variable PE, and premature‐like ejaculatory dysfunction according to the medical and sexual history they described. PE status was also assessed with PEDT, AIPE and PEP. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated for PEDT and AIPE in the study population whereas detection rates of these two questionnaires were also compared among the four PE syndromes. Moreover, PEP scores of patients with lifelong, acquired, Natural Variable PE and premature‐like ejaculatory dysfunction were compared. Significance level was considered as P Main Outcome Measures Scores obtained from PEDT, AIPE, and PEP questionnaires. Results A total of 2,593 couples were enrolled where 512 (20.0%) male subjects reported PE. PEDT, AIPE, and PEP measures of the PE patients indicated worse sexual function ( P P P = 0.006 and P Conclusions PEDT and AIPE can diagnose PE with high sensitivity, especially in patients with lifelong and acquired PE. The complaint of patients with acquired PE seems to be more severe than those complaining of lifelong, Natural Variable PE and premature‐like ejaculatory dysfunction patients.

However, epidemiological studies investigating the prevalence of these four PE syndromes have yet to be conducted. Aim To determine the prevalence of the complaint of ejaculating prematurely across the four PE syndromes. Methods This study, conducted between June 2009 and December 2009, was designed as a non‐interventional, observational cross‐sectional field survey. Participating couples were randomly selected from 17 provinces of Turkey. All participants were asked to complete a questionnaire including data regarding demographics, socioeconomic status, social and cultural factors, medical and sexual history, current medications, and ejaculation time. Subjects with a complaint of ejaculating prematurely were classified as lifelong, acquired, and Natural Variable PE, or premature‐like ejaculatory dysfunction. Main Outcome Measures The main outcome measures were prevalence of complaint of ejaculating prematurely in the general population and across the four PE syndromes. Results A total of 2,593 couples (mean age, 41.9 ± 12.7 years for males and 38.2 ± 12.1 years for females) were enrolled. Five‐hundred twelve subjects (20.0%) complained of ejaculating prematurely. Fifty‐eight (2.3%), 100 (3.9%), 215 (8.5%), and 131 (5.1%) subjects were classified as lifelong, acquired, and Natural Variable PE, and premature‐like ejaculatory dysfunction, respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of the complaint of ejaculating prematurely among Turkish men was 20.0%, with the highest PE syndrome being Natural Variable PE (8.5%) and premature‐like ejaculatory dysfunction (5.1%).

the distribution of patients who seek treatment for the complaint of ejaculating prematurely according to the four premature ejaculation syndromes
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2010Co-Authors: Ege Can Serefoglu, Haci Ibrahim Cimen, Ali Fuat Atmaca, Derya M BalbayAbstract:ABSTRACT Introduction In addition to “lifelong” and “acquired” premature ejaculation (PE) syndromes, two more PE syndromes have recently been proposed: “Natural Variable PE” and “premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction.” Aim The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of the four PE syndromes among patients who were admitted to a urology outpatient clinic with the complaint of ejaculating prematurely. Methods Between July 2008 and March 2009, patients admitted to a urology outpatient clinic with a self-reported complaint of PE were enrolled into the study. After taking a careful medical and sexual history, patients were classified as “lifelong,”“acquired,”“Natural Variable,” PE or “premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction.” Main Outcome Measures In addition to medical and sexual history, self-estimated intravaginal ejaculatory latency times (IELTs) of patients were used in the classification of patients. Results A total of 261 potent men with a mean age of 36.39 ± 10.45 years (range 20–70) were recruited into the study. The majority of the men was diagnosed as having lifelong PE (62.5%); the remaining men were diagnosed as having acquired (16.1%), Natural Variable PE (14.5%), or premature-like ejaculatory disorder (6.9%). The mean age of patients with acquired PE was significantly higher than the other groups ( P = 0.001). No significant difference was observed for educational status or income level of patients in the different PE groups ( P = 0.983 and P = 0.151, respectively). The mean self-estimated IELT for all subjects was 65.16 ± 83.75 seconds (2–420 seconds). Patients with lifelong PE had significantly lower mean self-reported IELT, whereas the patients with premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction had the highest mean IELT ( P = 0.001): (i) life-long PE: 20.47 ± 28.90 seconds (2–120 seconds); (ii) aquired PE: 57.91 ± 38.72 seconds (90–180 seconds); (iii) Natural Variable PE: 144.17 ± 22.47 seconds (120–180 seconds); and (iv) premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction: 286.67 ± 69.96 seconds (180–420 seconds). Conclusions The majority of patients who seek treatment for the complaint of ejaculating prematurely describes lifelong PE. Further population-based studies are required to determine the actual prevalences of these four PE syndromes. Serefoglu EC, Cimen HI, Atmaca AF, and Balbay MD.
