The relationship between premature ejaculation and anogenital distance

Premature ejaculation is a common male sexual disease in andrology practice. The goal of essay is to investigate the relation of anogenital distance that predicts prenatal testosterone exposure with premature ejaculation. Between January and May 2019, 150 men were participated in the study. The patients were evaluated with anamnesis and physical examination; age, smoking, alcohol consumption, intravaginal ejaculation latency time, body mass index, premature ejaculation diagnostic tool, distance from anal point to scrotum and distance from anal point to penis were recorded. According to premature ejaculation diagnostic tool score, the patients were classified as premature ejaculation group (score ≥11) and control group (score <11). The mean of the male age was 30.73 ± 4.40 years. The mean intravaginal ejaculation latency time score was 3.42 ± 2.71 min. Two groups were compared using the distance from anal point to scrotum distance from anal point to penis. In the premature ejaculation group, the distances were found lower (77.46 ± 2.31 and 54.78 ± 2.56 mm) than the control group (81.32 ± 3.11 and 58.16 ± 3.48 mm). There were statistical differences between two groups (p < .001). It was concluded that it is likely to have a negative relationship between anogenital distance and premature ejaculation diagnostic tool score.
