Summary
Men with lifelong premature ejaculation (PE) and childhood monosymptomatic enuresis (ME) experienced shorter intravaginal ejaculatory times (IELT). The severity of ME correlated with shorter IELT, suggesting a shared mechanism.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Sexual Medicine
- Pediatric Urology
Background:
- Premature ejaculation (PE) is a prevalent male sexual dysfunction.
- Monosymptomatic enuresis (ME) involves nocturnal bedwetting without daytime symptoms.
- Emerging research indicates a link between lifelong PE and ME.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare intravaginal ejaculatory time (IELT) in men with lifelong PE, with and without a history of ME.
- To investigate the association between ME severity and IELT in men with lifelong PE.
Main Methods:
- 137 men diagnosed with lifelong PE were enrolled.
- Participants reported a history of childhood ME.
- Student's t-test and trend analysis were used to compare IELT and assess ME severity correlation.
Main Results:
- 57 out of 137 (41.6%) men with lifelong PE reported a history of ME.
- A significant negative correlation was observed between ME severity and IELT.
- Shorter IELTs were noted in men with more severe ME.
Conclusions:
- A strong correlation between IELT and ME severity suggests a potential common pathophysiological pathway.
- Further research is needed to confirm these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms.

9.4K
Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive urodynamic test designed to measure various aspects of urination, including volume, flow rate, and the time to void. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, incomplete bladder emptying, incontinence, and urinary tract blockages caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urethral strictures.Pre-Test Instructions:Before a uroflowmetry test, patients are typically advised to drink...

01:26The Micturition Reflex
4.0K
Urination, or micturition involves the coordination of the bladder's detrusor muscle and two sphincters to ensure controlled bladder emptying.
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating...

01:23Urinary Bladder
4.6K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

01:17Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation
31.0K
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

The genitourinary system is critical to maintaining fluid balance, waste elimination, and reproductive function. Nurses play a vital role in assessing this system, beginning with a thorough health history. This process involves gathering patient information, identifying risk factors, and recognizing symptoms of genitourinary disorders. Early detection is vital for timely interventions and management.1. Gathering Patient InformationA complete health history includes the patient’s personal,...

A urine culture and sensitivity test is a diagnostic procedure used to identify urinary tract bacterial infections and determine the most effective antibiotics for treatment. This test is generally preferred when a patient shows manifestations of a urinary tract infection, such as frequent or painful urination, cloudy or foul-smelling urine, or lower abdominal pain.Purpose of the TestThe primary goals of a urine culture and sensitivity test are to:Determine the specific bacteria causing the...
