Mai recommendations regarding the relationship between premature ejaculation (PE) and erectile dysfunction (ED) as derived from International Societies

Parameter Society Recommendations
Shindel et al., 2021 AUA/SMSNA Clinicians should treat comorbid ED in patients with PE according to the AUA Guidelines on ED
Salonia et al., 2021 EAU Treat ED, other sexual dysfunction, or genitourinary infection (eg, prostatitis) first
Sansone et al., 2020 SIAMS

We recommend investigating the presence of other sexual comorbidities, particularly ED, in all patients with PE

We recommend treating ED before PE in patients with both symptoms

Althoff et al., 2014 ISSM

While ED is unlikely as a comorbidity or etiological factor for life-long PE, there are data to support that acquired PE is associated with ED

There is reliable evidence to support the treatment of PE and comorbid ED with ED pharmacotherapy
