Re: Karabakan M, Bozkurt A, Hirik E, Celebi B, Akdemir S, Guzel O, Nuhoglu B. The prevalence of premature ejaculation in young Turkish men. Andrologia 2016; 24: 1–5

I read the original article by Karabakan et al. with interest. The authors demonstrated that the prevalence of premature ejaculation in young Turkish men is lower (9.2%) than the other studies (Porst et al., 2007; Waldinger & Schweitzer, 2007), and they concluded that it may be a result of good physical and mental health (SF- 12). Also, they used only premature ejaculation diagnosis tool (PEDT) for diagnosis of PE and subjects with a PEDT score >10 were considered to be PE patients (Karabakan et al., 2016).
