摘要

Although premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common sexual dysfunction in men, data concerning psychiatric comorbidity of PE are limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible axis I psychiatric comorbidity and the impact of this comorbidity on the clinical findings of PE. 63 males diagnosed with premature ejaculation at Bakirkoy Research and Training Hospital for Psychiatry, Neurology and Neurosurgery - Sexual Dysfunctions Clinic were included in the present study. Sexual Dysfunction Assessment Form, the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I), the Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, the Beck Depression Inverntory, and the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale were applied to all participants. Findings were evaluated statistically in 95% confidence interval. Major depression and/or an anxiety disorder comorbidity were detected in 49.2% of males with PE. Comorbid axis I disorder rates were 30.2% for depression, 27.0% for social phobia, 4.8% for panic disorder, 3.2% for obssessive-compulsive disorder, 3.2 for spesific phobia, and 1.6% for post-traumatic stress disorder. 58% of patients with major depression had a comorbid anxiety disorder too. Patients with comorbid axis I disorders did not differ from others regarding the sociodemographic variables, but precoital ejacultion was more frequent and their GRISS - PE subscale scores were higher. According to the results of our study, depression and social phobia were the two most frequent comorbidities in PE. These findings were in line with the previous studies. High comorbity of PE indicates the importance of psychiatric evaluation of the condition. (Archives of Neuropsychiatry 2011; 48 Supplement 1:16-23)
