Problems of Men with Premature Ejaculation: A Content Analysis of Texts
Abstract
Aim and Background: There is a lack of research in Iran on the effect of premature ejaculation (PE) on men. Thus, the aim of the present qualitative study was to assess this issue through content analysis and evaluation of previous studies on this topic. Methods and Materials: Elsevier, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, SID, PubMed, Magiran, and CIVILICA databases were searched using related keywords and 13 articles were selected from among those published during 1970-2016. Findings: This study concentrated on the assessment of psychological problems affecting the lives of men with PE. The problems of men with PE were categorized into 8 main themes of ejaculation management, stress, anxiety, marital adjustment, sexual satisfaction, physiological problems, depression, and sexual self-concept. Conclusions: It seems that concentrating on both men with PE and their partners and performing interventions in the form of couples therapy is more effective on the treatment process.
