The purpose of this study is to compare the intravaginal ejaculatory times (IELT) in lifelong PE patients with and without ME. METHODS Between November 2008 and March 2011, a total of 137 patients with lifelong PE were admitted to our outpatient clinic. Patients were asked if they had ME in their childhood and their age of urinary continence (AUC) was recorded. The characteristics and mean IELTs of PE patients with and without ME were compared with Mann-Whitney U test. Moreover, the correlation between AUC and IELT of patients with and without ME was assessed with Spearman linear correlation test. RESULTS Of the patients, 57 (41.6%) reported ME. There was no significant difference in terms of age (36.0±7.8y vs. 34.1±8.3y, p=0.096) or mean IELT (45.2±17.4s vs. 47.5±17.6s, p=0.504) between patients with and without ME. Of the patients with ME, 16 (28.1%) had infrequent, 18 (31.6%) had moderate and 23 (40.3%) had severe ME and there was no statistically significant relation between the severity of ME and mean IELTs. AUCs of patients with and without ME were 7.9±1.3 and 3.4±0.5, respectively. In patients with ME, IELT had a fair positive linear correlation with AUC (rho=0.238, p= 0.074, figure 1), whereas very weak linear correlation between IELT and AUC was observed among patients without ME (rho= 0.027, p= 0.811) and no correlation was detected in the entire group (rho=0.005, p= 0.956). CONCLUSIONS ME seems to be more prevalent among men with lifelong PE. Positive linear correlation between IELT and AUC in patient with ME may suggest a common underlying mechanism. However, further studies are required to confirm these findings and elucidate the exact pathophysiology. Table 1.
