ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the correlation between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and premature ejaculation (PE) in Korean men older than 40 years. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
In total, 258 men older than 40 years completed the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS; total score, storage symptoms [ST], and voiding symptoms [VD]), a 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), and the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT). The study examined the relationship between LUTS and PE. In the PEDT, PE is defined as a score > or =11.RESULTS:
The prevalence of PE was 29.1% with the PEDT versus a self-reported value of 49.5%. The prevalence of PE was 30.9% in 40 to 59-year-old men (21.3%) and 28.1% in 60 to 79 year-old men (78.7%). In men 40 to 59 and 60 to 79 years old, the mean PEDT, IPSS, and IIEF-5 scores were 8.65 and 7.88, 13.5 and 12.38, and 15.83 and 13.69, respectively. No significant correlations were observed between the total and subscale scores of the IPSS (p=0.204) and the PEDT (p=0.309) with increasing age, whereas a significant negative correlation was detected between the IIEF-5 and age (p=0.002). The PEDT score was significantly correlated with the IPSS-ST (r=0.326, p<0.001), IPSS-VD (r=0.183, p=0.005), IPSS-total (r=0.310, p<0.001), and IIEF-5 total (r=-0.248, p<0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
LUTS, especially storage symptoms, were related to PE. In elderly men, control of both erectile dysfunction and LUTS may play an important role in managing PE.
