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

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.
