ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate nitric oxide (NO) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels in men with premature ejaculation (PE), which is a common condition that adversely affects quality of life. Material and

method:

Of the 20–50-year old men presenting to the urology clinic, who were married or had regular sexual intercourse, 40 that were diagnosed with lifelong PE according to the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) and intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) measured by a stopwatch were included in the study. The results of the PE group were compared to those of the control group formed with 40 healthy hospital personnel. Venous blood samples were centrifuged and stored at −80°C. The NO and ADMA values were compared between the individuals with and without PE.

Results:

There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of age, body mass index (BMI), and The International Erectile Dysfunction Index-5 (IIEF-5) questionnaire scores. The NO and ADMA values were significantly lower in the PE group than in the control group (29.76±13.26μmol/L vs. 48.27±22.71μmol/L; p<0.001 and 1.01±0.49nmol/ml vs. 1.83±1.06nmol/ml; p<0.001, respectively). There was a significant correlation between IELT and NO levels (r=0.407, p=0.001).

Conclusion:

Our study can contribute to the explanation of the pathophysiology of PE having unclear etiology and treatment. Further studies on these molecules with larger case series are required for the diagnosis and treatment of PE. (AU)
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Evaluar los niveles de óxido nítrico (NO) y dimetilarginina asimétrica en hombres con eyaculación precoz (EP), que es una afección común que afecta negativamente la calidad de vida. Material y

método:

De los hombres de 20 a 50 años que acudieron a la clínica de urología, que estaban casados o tenían relaciones sexuales regulares, se incluyeron en el estudio 40 que fueron diagnosticados con EP de por vida según la Herramienta de Diagnóstico de la Eyaculación Precoz y el tiempo de latencia de la eyaculación intravaginal medidos por un cronómetro. Se compararon los resultados del grupo de EP con los del grupo control formado por 40 personas sanas del hospital. Las muestras de sangre venosa se centrifugaron y almacenaron a −80°C. Se compararon los valores de NO y dimetilarginina asimétrica entre los individuos con y sin EP.

Resultados:

No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos en términos de edad, índice de masa corporal y puntajes del cuestionario International Erectile Dysfunction Index-5. Los valores de NO y dimetilarginina asimétrica fueron significativamente más bajos en el grupo de EP que en el grupo control (29,76±13,26 frente a 48,27±22,71μmol/l [p<0,001] y 1,01±0,49 frente a 1,83±1,06nmol/ml [p<0,001], respectivamente). Hubo una correlación significativa entre los niveles de tiempo de latencia de la eyaculación intravaginal y NO (r=0,407, p=0,001).

Conclusión:

Nuestro estudio puede contribuir a la explicación de la fisiopatología de la EP de etiología y tratamiento poco claros. Se requieren más estudios sobre estas moléculas con series de casos más grandes para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la EP. (AU)
