Abstract

Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common form of male sexual dysfunction and a number of direct urological risk factor may be identified. This chapter will focus on certain risk factors that may predispose men to PE such as erectile dysfunction (ED), chronic prostatitis (CP), varicocele, enuresis, and circumcision. A review of the current literature is presented with an emphasis on the epidemiological associations between these risk factors and PE. A review of possible treatment options in the current literature are also pertinent presented. This chapter will be most useful for the clinician's approach to the patient with PE evaluation past urological history.
