Article Title: The role of psychological treatment strategies in ejaculatory dysfunction
Abstract: Our knowledge of ejaculatory disorders and evidence-based treatments for them has not matched the growth in our knowledge and understanding of erectile dysfunction. Yet ejaculatory disorders, and understanding the treatments for these disorders, can have an impact on a patient's intimacy, enjoyment of sexual relations, and marital happiness. Premature ejaculation is the most common ejaculatory disorder, and effective medical treatments and cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques exist to treat this disorder. The combination of these treatments has been suggested to be the most effective way to manage premature ejaculation. Retarded orgasm is markedly less common, and an evidence base for existing treatments is lacking. However, case reports and initial research suggest potentially effective treatments. In total, the literature suggests that ejaculatory disorders are distressing and that patients should seek available treatments for these disorders. Copyright © 2008 by Current Medicine Group LLC.
