Summary
Premature ejaculation (PE) is common in diabetic men, especially those over 50. Poor metabolic control and longer diabetes duration significantly increase PE risk in this population.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Urology
- Diabetology
Background:
- Premature ejaculation (PE) is a prevalent sexual dysfunction.
- Diabetes mellitus is associated with various complications, including sexual dysfunction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the prevalence of premature ejaculation (PE) in male patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
- To identify risk factors associated with PE in this cohort.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 676 male diabetic patients.
- Screening for PE, with data collection on sociodemographics, medical history (diabetes duration, complications), and clinical/laboratory assessments (BMI, HbA1c).
Main Results:
- The prevalence of PE was 32.4% in men under 50 and 67.6% in men over 50.
- Patients with diabetes >10 years were 2.7 times more likely to have PE (p < 0.05).
- Poor metabolic control (high HbA1c) increased PE likelihood by 9.6 times (p < 0.05), and PE was linked to cardiovascular disease (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
- Premature ejaculation is highly prevalent in diabetic patients.
- Age, diabetes duration, poor glycemic control, and cardiovascular disease are significant risk factors for PE in diabetic men.
