AB030. Premature ejaculation of clinical characteristic and risk factors in Korean men

Abstract: Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most prevalent male sexual disorders and the global prevalence rates of PE estimated at approximately 20-30%. From nationwide survey in Korea, the prevalence of PE is 17 to 27% according to different definitions. In PE patients, the frequency of sexual intercourse was decreased (less than 1 time; 36.4% in PE group vs. 20.6% in non-PE group) and the stress in life was increased (serious stress; 44.9% in PE group vs. 29.6% in non-PE group). The satisfaction level of sexual intercourse (in the category of very unsatisfactory or unsatisfactory) in PE males and non-PE males was 41.1% and 9.8%. PE had a negative impact on the subjects’ overall relationships with their partners. Over half of the non-PE males thought that the frequency of their partner’s organism during sexual intercourse was more than 50%, whereas most of the PE males thought that their partner did not achieve orgasm. In a cross-sectional study conducted that included 8,261 men, 2,205 (24.9%) men had prostatitis-like symptoms (NIH-CPSI pain score of ≥4 and perineal or ejaculatory pain), and 618 (7.0%) men had moderate to severe symptoms (NIHCPSI pain score of ≥8). Additionally, 2,144 men (24.2%) were classified as demonstrating PE (PEDT >10). The PEDT score was found to have a significant positive correlation with the NIH-CPSI pain domain score (correlation coefficient =0.206; P<0.001). These data showed a significant correlation between the PEDT score and the NIH-CPSI score. I suggest routine screening for CP/CPPS in men with PE and PE in men with CP/CPPS.
