摘　　要：Background: Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the sexual dysfunctions commonly present among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), but rarely reported and not commonly investigated compared to erectile dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of PE in a group of patients with type 2 DM and explore possible determinants of its occurrence and its association with erectile dysfunction. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of subjects recruited from the Diabetes clinic and whose sexual function was assessed using the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) and erection hardness score (EHS), who were in heterosexuals relationship and resides together with their wives and had no major organ failure or acute infection within the last 1 month. Other socio-demographic history and diabetes-related questions were assessed. Results: A total of 69 subjects were recruited. The prevalence of PE was 27.5% in the study. There was a significant inverse relationship between the prevalence of premature ejaculation and frequency of sexual intercourse. Almost half 14/30 (46.7%) of those with erectile dysfunction had premature ejaculation. Diabetic patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) showed a significantly higher incidence of PE with significantly lower values of EHS. Higher level of fasting blood glucose was associated with higher prevalence of erectile dysfunction. Conclusions: The prevalence of PE was relatively high at 19/69 (27.5%) among our type 2 diabetic patients. Hence, health care giver should always endeavour to ask about it even when patients do not volunteer the information.Background: Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the sexual dysfunctions commonly present among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), but rarely reported and not commonly investigated compared to erectile dysfunction.
