In volume 2 of the
Journal of Sexual Medicine published in November 2005, MD Waldinger, et. al. examined the relationship between thyroid function and lifelong premature ejaculation [ learn more about premature ejaculation ( PE ) basics ] . In order to determine if thyroid functioning plays a role in premature ejaculation, the study tested thyroid function of 620 men with an intravaginal ejaculatory latency time ( IELT ) of ≤1 minute. Men in the study did not have other erectile dysfunctions. The thyroid stimulating hormone and f T4 levels were studied at three intervals during the day: morning, early afternoon, and late afternoon.
The study did not find differences in the thyroid stimulating hormone and f T4 levels at the varying intervals of the day. There were 14 men with low f T4 levels, while 5 men had high levels of f T4. Despite these results, there appeared to be no interaction between thyroid functioning and premature ejaculation ( PE ). The two conditions do not appear related, conclude the researchers, although further studies are needed to determine if a relationship exists in another form.
