摘要
The nerve electrophysiological tests may differentiate the treatment of primary premature ejaculation （PPE） in our previous studies. However, no study verifies if the results will be affected by abstinence time. From January to December in 2016, fifty PPE patients ejaculated within 2 min and 28 control subjects were enrolled. The nerve electrophysiological tests, including dorsal nerve somatosensory evoked potential （DNSEP）, glans penis somatosensory evoked potential （GPSEP）, and penile sympathetic skin response （PSSR）, were recorded before and immediately after ejaculation. The abstinence day was not correlated with the latencies of SEPs or PSSR neither in PE group （P = 0.170, 0.064, and 0.122, respectively） nor in control group （P = 0.996, 0.475, and 0.904, respectively）. No statistically differences were found in the latencies of SEPs and PSSR before and after ejaculation in PE patients （P = 0.439, 0.537, and 0.576, respectively） or control subjects （P = 0. 102, 0. 198, and 0.363, respectively）. Thus, abstinence time does not interfere with the nerve electrophysiological test, which is stable in determining the nerve function of PPE patients.
