Assessment of the Quality of Life of Men with Premature Ejaculation
Abstract
Sexual health is an integral part of the quality of life of every person, as it is of great importance for the physical and mental well-being of individuals, couples, families, and, accordingly, for the social and economic development of communities and countries. The objective: to assess the impact of premature ejaculation (PE) on the quality of life of men depending on the degree of clinical manifestations. Materials and methods. 89 men who had premature ejaculation were under observation. The average age of the patients was 32.6±4.2 years. The average duration of the disease was 4.6±2.4 years. 22 (24.7%) patients had secondary (acquired) premature ejaculation against the background of chronic prostatitis or prostatic vesiculitis. Other 67 (75.3%) men had a primary (congenital) form of premature ejaculation, which began with the beginning of sexual life. The premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) was used to determine the severity of premature ejaculation. Quality of life was assessed on the basis of Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire – Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF) (). Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used for screening detection of anxiety and depression. Study of medical and social characteristics based on the developed program was performed and the sensitivity of the penis was also assessed using biotensiometry. Results. It was established that men with premature ejaculation have a low satisfaction with life (76.4%), against the…
