Seventeen male outpatients with premature ejaculation were randomly assigned to treatment with paroxetine (N = 8) or placebo (N = 9). After a first week dose of 20 mg/day, the paroxetine regimen was increased to 40 mg/day for 5 weeks. Patients and their female partners were interviewed separately. Patients treated with paroxetine had significantly greater clinical improvement than the patients ...

Fluvoxamine 25-200 mg daily and clomipramine 25-200 mg daily were given for separate three week periods to 18 subjects with narcolepsy and cataplexy. Both drugs improved cataplexy but not narcolepsy. Fluvoxamine was less active than clomipramine, but both drugs abolished cataplexy in individual subjects. Gastrointestinal side effects prevented treatment with fluvoxamine in five subjects. All pa...

PURPOSE To find the most accurate mathematical description of the intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) distribution in the general male population. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared the fitness of various well-known mathematical distributions with the IELT distribution of two previously published stopwatch studies of the Caucasian general male population and a stopwatch study of Dutch...

The patients were also asked their opinion on informed consent. Most patients knew the position of the prostate and the purpose of the operation. Some aspects of the postoperative managemen...

We present the British Association of Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) special interest group in sexual dysfunction recommendations for the management of retarded ejaculation. The recommendations outline the physiology, prevalence, definitions, aetiological factors and patient assessment for this sexual problem. We suggest treatment strategies, recommendations for management and an auditable outcome.

21 married men were treated for erectile defect and premature ejaculation (both primary & secondary) by modified Masters-Johnson technique. 16(76.2%) recovered. The success rate was higher in secondary cases (83.3%). Best results were obtained in 30-39 yrs age group. The modified technique has been described in detail. Factors favourable and unfavourable for success have been discussed.

INTRODUCTION The relational impact of male and female sexual dysfunction, and specifically premature ejaculation (PE), is an important consideration. Published findings are consistent in identifying the negative psychosocial impact of PE on the man. However, the effect of PE on the female partner, especially in relation to her sexual functioning, has been less well studied. AIM Provide an ove...

BACKGROUND Recently, sildenafil has been demonstrated to be effective in treating premature ejaculation (PE). However, these studies ignored female factors and could not exclude the probability of drug interaction when combined with paroxetine. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sildenafil alone in the treatment of primary PE, taking female factors into ...
