Background and objective: Premature ejaculation is one of the most
common and complex sexual diseases among men. Although there are four defined
subtypes of premature ejaculation, the most common subtype is acquired premature
ejaculation. This study investigated the association between serum vitamin D
levels and acquired premature ejaculation.

94 patients with a complaint of acquired premature ejaculation (the study group)
and 92 patients without a complaint of premature ejaculation (the control group)
between June 2018 and March 2020. Patients’ demographic characteristics,
laboratory results, intravaginal ejaculatory latency time, Turkish validated
premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT), International Index of Erectile
Function-5 (IIEF-5) and Beck Depression scores were statistically compared
between groups.
Results: The patients’ mean age was 49.10
