Özet

Introduction: Premature ejaculation (PE) is a significant problem as it can cause a loss of sexual self-confidence and a significant deterioration in quality of life. The frequency of PE varies between 9% and 27%. In the current study, we aimed to compare the levels of the serotonin metabolite 5HIAA (5 hydroxyindole acetic acid) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with and without PE according to IELT (intravaginal ejaculation latency time) in order to investigate the relationship of PE with CSF 5HIAA levels.
