Abstract

To investigate the prevalence of an excessive prepuce in patients with premature ejaculation (PE) and to evaluate the effectiveness of distal circumcision in reducing the penile hypersensitivity, which is thought to be a cause of PE. Men were considered to have an excessive prepuce if the foreskin exceeded the external urethral meatus by ≥1 cm in the flaccid state. The diagnosis of PE was based on the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) questionnaire score and on the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT). These features were evaluated at baseline and at 6 months after circumcision. Lifelong PE was diagnosed in 352 patients of whom 208 (59.1%) had an excessive prepuce. We offered those with an excessive prepuce a circumcision, as a potential definitive treatment for their PE, and 27 (13%) men accepted. At 6 months after circumcision, there was an increase in the mean (SD) IELT from 40.4 (16.5) to 254 (66.8) s (P < 0.001) and the mean (SD) PEDT score decreased from 17 (2) to 6.6 (1.9) (P < 0.001). Overall, 26 of the 27 (96%) patients that had a circumcision reported an IELT increase. An excessive prepuce is very common in patients affected by PE. Although accepted by only 13% of our patients, distal circumcision w...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
