BJU International published in August 2006, Mehdi Aloosh, Mohammad Hassani, and Mohammadreza NikooBakht reported a new line of possible study for patients suffering with premature ejaculation ( PE ). In this study, authors investigated whether or not patients with premature ejaculation ( PE ), as defined by intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) of <1 minute, had abnormal levels of seminal plasma magnesium.
The study included 19 men who met both the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) and an IELT of <1 minute and a control group of 19 healthy men. All men in the study had a full history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Researchers used atomic absorption spectrophotometry to determine seminal plasma magnesium levels. Final results demonstrated that healthy men had seminal plasma magnesium levels of 116.7 mg/l whereas men with premature ejaculation ( PE ) had levels of 94.7 mg/l. Even though the study indicates that seminal plasma levels are significantly different from one group to another, researchers admit that more study is needed to determine why the difference exists and how it affects premature ejaculation ( PE ).
