Clinical and Demographic Correlates of Ejaculatory Dysfunctions Other Than Premature Ejaculation: A Prospective, Observational Study.
Journal of Sexual Medicine 2015 December
INTRODUCTION: Ejaculatory dysfunctions other than premature ejaculation are commonly encountered in specialized clinics; however, their characterization in community-dwelling men is lacking.
AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, severity, and associated distress of four ejaculatory dysfunctions: delayed ejaculation (DE), anejaculation (AE), perceived ejaculate volume reduction (PEVR) and/or decreased force of ejaculation (DFE) as a function of demographic and clinical characteristics in men.
METHODS: Observational analysis of 988 subjects presenting with one or more types of ejaculatory dysfunctions other than premature ejaculation who screened for a randomized clinical trial assessing the efficacy of testosterone replacement on ejaculatory dysfunction. Demographic and clinical characteristics were assessed as potential risk factors using regression analysis.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome measures used were ejaculatory dysfunction prevalence and scores (3-item Men's Sexual Health Questionnaire Ejaculatory Dysfunction-Short Form [MSHQ-EjD-SF]), and bother (MSHQ-EjD-SF Bother item) and sexual satisfaction/enjoyment (International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire Q7, Q8) as a function of subject's age, race, body mass index (BMI) and serum testosterone levels (measured by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry).
RESULTS: Mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of the participants was 52 years (11). Eighty-eight percent of the men experienced more than one type of ejaculatory dysfunction and 68% considered their symptoms to be bothersome. Prevalence of the ejaculatory dysfunctions was substantial across a range of age, race, BMI, and serum testosterone categories. Prevalence of PEVR and DFE were positively associated with age (<40 years vs. 60-70 years: PEVR: odds ratio [OR], 3.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.32-7.06; DFE: OR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.46-5.28) while DFE was associated with BMI (≥30 kg/m(2) vs. < 25 kg/m(2) : OR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.062-3.05). All ejaculatory dysfunctions were more prevalent in black men.
CONCLUSION: The majority of the participants experienced multiple ejaculatory dysfunctions and found them to be highly bothersome. Ejaculatory dysfunctions were prevalent across a wide range of demographic and clinical characteristics.
