Relationship between atherogenic indices and acquired premature ejaculation

Abstract

Premature Ejaculation (PE) is considered the most common sexual dysfunction that affects approximately 15%-30% of men over the age of 18. (Laumann et al., 1999). According to the definition of PE made by the International Society of Sexual Medicine (ISSM) in 2014, lifelong PE (a) ejaculation is always or almost always within 1 min before vaginal penetration or after vaginal penetration, (b) inability to delay ejaculation and (c) this situation creates frustration, bother, mental distress and sexual avoidance problems in the individual (Serefoglu et al., 2014). Acquired PE (APE) is separated from lifelong PE with the onset of the PE complaint in individuals with previous normal ejaculation performance and the ejaculation within approximately 3 min (Serefoglu et al., 2014). Despite its high prevalence, controversies about the definition, classification and hence treatment of PE still continue (Saitz & Serefoglu, 2015). All organs that function in the body need oxygen and a proper blood flow to achieve function. Many studies have determined that hypoxia, ischaemia and oxidative stress caused by arterial obstructive diseases such as atherosclerosis are among the factors affecting male sexual dysfunction (Bolat et al., 2017; Thompson et al., 2005). While disorders in serotonin biosynthesis play a role in lifelong PE, many factors are observed in APE aetiology. (Culha, Tuken et al., 2020). Gao et al. (2013) stated that patients suffering from PE suffer from comorbidity such as chronic prostatitis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular (CV) diseases and

Efficacy evaluation of thickened condom in the treatment of premature ejaculation

“…The physiological process of erection includes 4 factors: adequate innervation, normal endocrine function, functional blood supply and blood circulation system, and complete anatomical structure, which are coordinated and completed. The absence or defect of any factor will affect the erectile function, and the vascular mechanism is more critical in penile erection (8,9). Premature ejaculation is the most common sexual dysfunction in men (10), and about 45% of men will experience premature ejaculation at some stage of their life.…”

Atherogenic indices in clinical practice and biomedical research: A short review

“…In addition to many reports which have assessed the AIP in different populations to predict CVD in those populations, 13,16,17,[26][27][28] some researchers suggest a positive correlation with other certain conditions such as acquired premature ejaculation and its severity. 29 Accordingly, evidence supports that AIP is now ready to be considered in clinical practice and for research purposes and further evaluated.…”
