The association between acquired premature ejaculation and metabolic syndrome in young Chinese men

Abstract

Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions. The definition, classification, as well as diagnosis of PE have been well investigated over the past (Althof et al., 2010; Laumann, Paik, & Rosen, 1999). The International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) made the definition of PE, including lifelong PE and acquired PE (LPE and APE) as a male sexual dysfunction characterised by ejaculation that always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about one minute of vaginal penetration (lifelong PE) or a clinically significant and bothersome reduction in latency time, often to about three minutes or less (acquired PE), the inability to delay ejaculation on all or nearly all vaginal penetrations with negative personal consequences (Serefoglu et al., 2014). PE was associated with not only the negative emotions of both patients and patients' partners but also related to some characteristics, such as anogenital distance (AGD) and age (Serefoglu et al., 2014). Furthermore, several diseases, such as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), erectile dysfunction (ED), acute/chronic prostatitis and hypogonadism, can be considered as risk factors or the aetiology of PE (Gonen, Kalkan, Cenker, & Ozkardes, 2005; Lee, 2014). However, more valuable factors related to PE are remained to be investigated and clarified. The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is composed of a cluster of metabolic risk factors including elevated waist circumference/central

The association between plant-based diet and erectile dysfunction in Chinese men

“…Only when it proved that the adenoma was non-functional, will the patient be recorded in the follow-up list and we selected non-ED subjects from the list as the controls. We think this design is rational not only because some studies in the field of andrology undertake a similar selection method [ 32 , 33 ], but also for the reason that controls in the study were tested strictly to be ED-free subjects before the enrollment. Moreover, there are no literatures showing the link between non-functional adrenal incidentaloma and diet, thus we supposed that currently the control selection was appropriate for the topic.…”

Premature Ejaculation and Endocrine Disorders: A Literature Review

“…The differing prevalence of PE in patients with MetS may be due to the use of different definitions of PE, variations in the number of patients in each study, and the large inconsistency in the prevalence of hyperglycemia in these studies. In a recent study, Lu et al [ 67 ] investigated the relationship between MetS and APE in 500 men with APE and 500 men without APE. They observed that neck circumference, WC, visceral fat ratio, fat mass, FBS, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in the APE group were significantly higher than those of the control group.…”

“…They also found that the APE population had a higher prevalence of MetS (35.6% controls vs. 49.4% MetS, p=0.000) and that both the prevalence and severity of PE increased significantly as the number of MetS components increased. In their multivariate analysis, Lu et al [ 67 ] reported that both MetS and hs-CRP are independent risk factors for APE.…”

The relationship between four types of premature ejaculation patients and the quality of residential environment

“…1 . PEDT was used to diagnose PE frequently [ 30 ], which consists of five questions, with a 5-point Likert-type scale, from "not difficult" to “Extremely difficult” accordingly.

“…In this study, we used PREQIs to evaluate the impact of various residential environment elements on mental health. We also combined the self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) [ 29 ] and premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) [ 30 ] scale to explore the potential impact of residential environment on PE.…”
