“…Although PE was initially described more than a century ago, 14 its definition, epidemiology, and management continue to be a matter of discussion among physicians 15 . Our findings confirmed that there are many differences among sexual health experts in their understanding of PE.…”

IntroductionPremature ejaculation (PE) is one of the commonest sexual dysfunctions in men. Because the definition of and guidelines for the management of PE have been revised in recent years, our understanding of PE has changed.AimTo investigate the clinical practice patterns of sexual medicine specialists regarding the diagnosis and treatment of PE.MethodsAttendees of the 17th Annual Congress of the European Society of Sexual Medicine, held in February 2015 in Copenhagen, Denmark, were asked to participate in a survey during the congress.Main Outcome MeasuresA 23-item, self-reported, closed-question questionnaire was distributed. Sociodemographic data, professional background, and personal practice patterns of the attendees were assessed in relation to PE.ResultsIn total, 217 physicians (median age = 47 years, range = 22–74) completed the survey. Most responders (79.3%) considered PE an important sexual dysfunction that should be treated. Almost half the participants stated there is insufficient information about PE for patients and physicians (46.1% and 45.2%, respectively). When asked about the main goal of treating PE, two thirds responded that main goal is to improve patients' sexual function and 35.9% responded that the main goal was to improve partners' satisfaction.ConclusionThese findings confirmed that there are many differences among sex health experts in their understanding of PE. Educational activities are crucial in implementing the new guidelines on PE.

“…Vast advances have occurred over the past decade with regards to understanding the epidemiology, pathophysiology and management of premature ejaculation (PE) (1); however, we still have much to learn about this common sexual problem. As a standardized evidence-based definition of PE has only recently been established (2), the reported prevalence rates of PE prior to this definition have been difficult to interoperate.…”

Vast advances have occurred over the past decade with regards to understanding the epidemiology, pathophysiology and management of premature ejaculation (PE); however, we still have much to learn about this common sexual problem. As a standardized evidence-based definition of PE has only recently been established, the reported prevalence rates of PE prior to this definition have been difficult to interpret. As a result, a large range of conflicting prevalence rates have been reported. In addition to the lack of a standardized definition and operational criteria, the method of recruitment for study participation and method of data collection have obviously contributed to the broad range of reported prevalence rates. The new criteria and classification of PE will allow for continued research into the diverse phenomenology, etiology and pathogenesis of the disease to be conducted. While the absolute pathophysiology and true prevalence of PE remains unclear, developing a better understanding of the true prevalence of the disease will allow for the completion of more accurate analysis and treatment of the disease.

“…Having previously been considered singly as a psychologically disorder, PE is now understood to be far more complex with multiple etiological factors playing a role in its pathogenesis (5). These advances in understanding PE necessitated the development of an evidence-based definition and classification to enable the scientific community to design methodologically rigorous studies on the topic.…”

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a poorly understood condition and is considered as the most common sexual disorder in men. The ambiguity surrounding PE is in part due to the difficulty in conducting and interpreting research in the absence of a standardised definition that adequately encompasses the characteristics of these patients. An enhanced awareness of sexual dysfunctions in the recent decades has lead to an increase in scientific research that has challenged the traditional paradigm regarding PE. This has also enabled to establish a universal definition and classification of the disease. A move to a more evidence based approach has improved the clinicians’ ability to define those who need medical treatment, as well as perform further research in this complex condition.
