Why is it a problem and for whom? Is it a problem for the man or his partner or both? Which factors explain the problem? Are they biological, psychological, interpersonal? This lecture gives a good understanding of the causes of premature ejaculation and the crucial parts of the diagnostic procedure. The possible treatment options are also presented: instructions of the stop start exercises are clearly demonstrated as well as what we can expect from pharmacotherapy and for which patients. Several clinical cases presenting cases of mild PE, moderate PE, severe PE and PE combined with erectile dysfunction help explain management strategies. Delayed ejaculation is briefly described.
Learning objectives:
- To understand medical, psychogenic and partner related causes of PE
- To understand the important parts of the diagnostic workup including the sexual history taking.
- To understand medical therapies and psychosexual therapy- based on research evidence base and clinical experience
- To identify common decision making issues in choosing the right treatment for PE
