Abstract Premature
ejaculation is a common sexual problem, as is erectile dysfunction. We
evaluated silodosin, a highly selective α1A -adrenoceptor antagonist, as a new treatment option
for premature ejaculation. α1-Adrenoceptor antagonists are widely used for
lower urinary tract symptoms, and clinical studies on silodosin have shown
excellent clinical efficacy for lower urinary tract symptoms. However, compared
with other α1-adrenoceptor antagonists, silodosin appeared to suppress
ejaculation in a relatively higher percent of trial participants. This
suppression of ejaculation by silodosin suggested its potential for treating
premature ejaculation. Consequently, we evaluated the feasibility of off-label
silodosin as a new treatment option for premature ejaculation. Eight patients
suffering premature ejaculation were treated with silodosin. Silodosin (4 mg) was
given 2 h before sexual intercourse. Intravaginal ejaculatory latency time, premature
ejaculation profile item, clinical global impression change in premature
ejaculation and systemic adverse events were recorded. Intravaginal ejaculatory
latency time was significantly prolonged (from 3.4 min to 10.1 min, P = 0.003).
All patients answered better (much better) or slightly better for their own
premature ejaculation problem compared with pretreatment condition in the
clinical global impression change. Premature ejaculation profile also
significantly improved. Two (25%), three (37.5%) and seven patients (87.5%) experienced
anejaculation, reduced semen volume and discomfort during orgasm, respectively.
However, these problems were not of major concern for the participants. No
systemic adverse effects were reported. The current results support the
possible use of silodosin as a new treatment option for premature ejaculation, and
suggest that a placebo controlled study assessing its clinical usefulness would
be worthwhile.© 2011 The Japanese Urological Association.
