Edinsel prematür ejakülasyon ile metabolik sendrom arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi: Prospektif, kontrollü bir çalışma

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and acquired premature ejaculation (PE). MATERIAL and METHODS: A total of 50 patients with acquired PE and 50 control cases were enrolled in the study. After obtaining a detailed medical history, anthropometric (weight, height and waist circumference) and blood pressure measurements were performed. Ejaculation and erection functions were evaluated by Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) and International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5), respectively. Self-estimated intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) of the participants was recorded. Fasting blood samples were taken for biochemical and hormonal work-up. RESULTS: The median PEDT scores were 15 (9–20) and 4 (0–8) in acquired PE and control groups, respectively (p<0.001). The mean estimated IELT values in PE patients and controls were 50,76 ± 11,19 versus 506,08 ± 49,47 s (p<0.001). MetS was diagnosed in 20 patients (40%) in the PE group and 6 (12%) participants in the control group (p=0.001). A significant negative correlation was observed between the components of MetS and estimated IELT, except for systolic blood pressure. Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between the all components of MetS and total PEDT score. Logistic regression analysis revealed that MetS components were significant risk factors for PE. CONCLUSION: MetS is associated with acquired PE.
