Penile Vibration Perception Threshold in Patients with Premature Ejaculation / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

We performed penile biothesiometry for determining the penile sensitivity on 56 normal men and 120 patients with primary premature ejaculation (PE) to realize the organic reasons of premature ejaculation. The mean vibration perception threshold at the glans penis and penile shaft was 0.222+/-0.133, 0.124+/-0.046 Microns in normal control, 0.058+/-0.026, 0.055+/-0.023 Microns in patients with PE respectively. The mean vibration perception threshold at the glans penis and penile shaft in patients group showed significantly lower than that of normal controls (P0.05). In conclusion, patients with primary premature ejaculation have a penile hypersensitivity regardless of aging. Penile hypersensitivity may give rise to uncontrolled ejaculation, which is thought to be an organic implication of premature ejaculation."
