Résumé

L’éjaculation prématurée est une dysfonction sexuelle très fréquente caractérisée par la perte de contrôle des éjaculations, entraînant une anxiété de performance, par conséquent une altération de la qualité de vie des patients et de leurs partenaires. La physiopathologie de ce symptôme est souvent psychogène et organique. Les causes organiques sont diverses et nécessitent une recherche systématique. Plusieurs traitements médicamenteux sont utilisés avec des taux d’efficacité variables et des effets secondaires à prendre en compte lors du choix du traitement. La prise en charge psychologique est un complément incontournable à ces traitements.

Abstract

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a frequently occurring sexual dysfunction defined by the loss of ejaculation control leading to performance anxiety and loss of self-esteem. This condition lowers the quality of life of patients and their sexual partners. The pathophysiology of PE often involves organic and psychogenic factors. Organic factors must be determined through medical examination. Several medical treatments, with varying degrees of effectiveness, are currently in use. Side effects must be taken in account when choosing treatments, and psychological care is always indicated.
