    This study found that patients with true premature ejaculation (TPE) exhibit heightened bulbo-cavernous reflex responses, suggesting neurological differences. These findings point to potential reflex hyperexcitability in TPE patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Urology
    • Sexual Medicine

    Background:

    • Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual dysfunction.
    • The underlying pathophysiology of true premature ejaculation (TPE) remains incompletely understood.
    • The bulbo-cavernous reflex plays a role in male sexual function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the bulbo-cavernous reflex in patients with TPE.
    • To compare reflex responses between TPE patients and a control group.
    • To explore potential neurological mechanisms contributing to TPE.

    Main Methods:

    • Evoked sacral potentials were utilized to assess the bulbo-cavernous reflex.
    • The study included 85 patients diagnosed with TPE and 52 healthy control subjects.

  • Measurements of evoked response amplitudes were taken from perineal and perianal recordings.

    • Main Results:

    • Evoked response amplitudes in TPE patients were significantly higher than in controls (P < 0.01 for perineal, P ≈ 0.05 for perianal).
    • Mean amplitudes in TPE patients were 70 ± 91.1 microV (perineal) and 35.6 ± 36 microV (perianal).
    • Control group amplitudes were 39.2 ± 36.8 microV (perineal) and 26 ± 21.6 microV (perianal).

    Conclusions:

    • Results suggest reflex hyperexcitability in TPE patients.
    • An impaired modulation of pudendal nucleus motor neurons by higher regulatory centers may be involved.
    • These findings offer insights into the neurophysiological basis of TPE.
