Efeitos da terapia extracorpórea por ondas de choque na hipersensibilidade do pênis em homens com ejaculação precoce

Abstract

Introduction: Premature Ejaculation (PE) is defined as a psychosomatic disorder, influenced by biological factors, which may negatively affect other psychological effects linked to the effect of early experience. It is estimated that 20 to 30% of men have premature ejaculation at some point in their lives. Objective: To verify the effects of the treatment and the epidemiological profile of men with premature ejaculation undergoing Extracorporeal Low Intensity Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). Methods: This is an epidemiological, retrospective and descriptive study with a quantitative approach, through the analysis of medical records of patients diagnosed with premature ejaculation, treated with the ESWT technique in a clinic in the city of Goiânia. Data were analyzed using the statistical package SPSS 26.0 (Statistical Package for Social Science). Data normality was verified by applying the Kolmogorov – Smirnov test. The analysis of the evolution of the bioesthesiometer before and after treatment was performed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The study sample consisted of 35 medical records. Average age of 38,7 years. 54,9% married. 45,7% with concomitant pathologies. 51,4% EP in less than 1 minute. 48,6% occur in fixed situations. 91,4% had negative reactions. When comparing the value of the initial Bioesthesiometer and after treatment, there was a statistically significant improvement with the initial mean of 2.13 and final mean of 6.30 (p<0.001). Conclusion: The sample studied showed satisfactory results with the therapy used, but there are still gaps regarding the knowledge of PE and non-drug treatments for the disorder.
