Introduction and objective: The purpose of this study was to compare
the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) between patients with and
without premature ejaculation (PE). Materials and method: The
relationship between the severity of LUTS and PE was investigated among 825 male
subjects, who underwent medical check-up between July 2013 and July 2018 in our
hospital. PE was defined by self-reported intravaginal ejaculation latency time
(IELT). The severity of LUTS was determined by international prostate symptom
score (IPSS), overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS), transrectal
ultrasonography (TRUS), and uroflow rate. A total of 825 subjects were classified
into three groups: PE-group (N = 60), Self-reported PE-group (N = 353), and
Non-PE group (N = 412). Results: In comparison analysis involving the
two groups, the PE-group and the Self-reported PE-group were analyzed to be
statistically significantly higher in IPSS items and OABSS items, compared to the
Non-PE group (P
