Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to compare the results of stop-start technique with stop-start technique together with sphincter control training applied in the treatment of premature ejaculation. METHODS: This research was conducted as a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 80 men. The study was conducted on men who applied to the urology outpatient clinic of LIV Hospital, a prıvate hospital, in Gaziantep, Turkey, between 01 October 2021 and 01 March 2022. "Personal Information Form", "Intravaginal Ejaculation Latency Time (IELT)", "Fold Increase Intravaginal Ejaculation Latency Time (F-IELT)" "Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) Questionnaire" and "Arabic Index Premature Ejaculation (AIPE)" were used as the data collection tools. Behavioral therapy, consisting of a total of 6 sessions, was applied once every two weeks, with each session lasting for 45 minutes. After 3rd and 6th months from the beginning of the application, the data collection tools were applied again. "Stop-Start Technique (Group A)" and "Stop-Start Technique and Sphincter Control Training (Group B)" were used in the treatment. RESULTS: In both groups, the IELT and AIPE values after 3rd and 6th months from the beginning of the application were statistically higher than those obtained before (p<0.05). IELT and AIPE values increased more in Group B than Group A (p<0.05). F-IELT values after 6th months from the beginning of the application were found…
