30 systematic reviews were included. For premature ejaculation, several treatments, including oral pharmacotherapy (selective serotonin inhibitors, phosphodiesterase type 5 [pde5] inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, and opioid analgesics), topical anesthetics, and combined drug and behavioral therapies demonstrated significant improvements of 1–5 minutes in the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time. Pharmacologic interventions (pde5 inhibitors, penile injection, and testosterone), shockwave therapy, lifestyle modifications, and combined therapies (pde5 inhibitors and psychological intervention) were effective in treating erectile dysfunction. Most pharmacologic therapies were associated with adverse effects.

Sexual problems are not only limited to problems with erections. Premature and delayed ejaculation are common concerns we see in our clinic. Premature ejaculation can be defined as ejaculation that is too soon, that is, not satisfactory for patient or partner. The time that defines premature ejaculation is obviously very subjective. A normal time to ejaculation for one person can be too short or too long to another. Furthermore, patients can have this condition since their first experience (lifelong) or could have developed it over time (acquired). Most patients and professional societies agree however that ejaculating within one minute of penetration is distressful for most.
