Summary
Ejaculatory disorders are prevalent, yet often under-diagnosed, sexual disorders that affects men of all ages. Identification of the endocrine nature of several patients with both premature ejaculation and delayed ejaculation is hampered by stigma and embarrassment associated with these conditions, and limited awareness that they are treatable. Because diagnosis informs treatment decisions that have an impact on clinical outcomes, the ability to diagnose endocrine risk factors in hyper or hypocontrol of ejaculation is vital to the successful management of these conditions.
