PURPOSE To validate three early ejaculation diagnostic tools, and propose a new tool for diagnosis in line with proposed changes to diagnostic criteria. Significant changes to diagnostic criteria are expected in the near future. Available screening tools do not necessarily reflect proposed changes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 148 diagnosed early ejaculation patients (M age = 42.8) and 892...

We appreciate and thank Drs Saitz and Serefoglu for their positive and sympathetic words on our article.1 Indeed, our genetic studies have shown that 5‐HTTLPR polymorphism, 5‐HT1A receptor gene polymorphism and 5‐HT2C receptor gene polymorphism are associated with the duration of the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time in men with lifelong premature ejaculation. In line with the remarks,1 we ...

INTRODUCTION Anorexia nervosa (AN) still lacks a defined treatment. Since fluoxetine proved effective in weight-restored anorexics, this pilot study evaluates the efficacy of another SSRI, citalopram, in restricting-type AN. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Fifty-two female anorectic outpatients were randomized in the citalopram (n=26) and waiting list (n=26) as a control group. Efficacy was assessed ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the cost-utility of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for treating depressive disorders prescribed in primary care (PC). METHOD A total of 301 participants beginning antidepressant treatment with an SSRI were enrolled in a prospective 6-month follow-up naturalistic study. Incremental cost-utility ratios (ICUR) were obtained for several comparisons among di...

In parallel with the increased recognition of organic causes of erectile dysfunction, several new physical methods of treatment have been developed for this problem. These include intracavernosal injections of vasodilators, penile prostheses, vascular surgery, vacuum condoms, and medication. However, psychological treatment approaches are still of considerable importance in the treatment of bot...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most prevalent sexual dysfunction in every country. There are many types of treatment, but the main limitation of medical treatment for premature ejaculation is recurrence after withdrawal of medicine. The prepuce is a specific erogenous zone that contains a rich and complex network of nerves. Circumcision radically desensitizes the penis, bu...

The term 'Patient Reported Outcome', abbreviated as PRO, was introduced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which proposed guidance on the development and validation of PROs. Previously PROs were known as self-report diaries, event-logs, self-administered questionnaires, and clinician administered rating scales. PROs seek to capture the subjective perceptions of patients and/or partner...
