Objective:Vitamin B12 deficiency is a common problem among chronic gastritis (CG) patients due to various factors. Vitamin B12 is involved in the regulation of the central nervous system and plays an active role in the synthesis of serotonin and catecholamines. This study aims to reveal the relationship between premature ejaculation (PE), which is a common sexual dysfunction in men, and B12 deficiency detected in patients with CG.Materials and Methods:A total of 155 patients enrolled in the study between May 2017 and December 2017 were evaluated in three groups; CG with and without B12 deficiency and healthy volunteers. The patients were assessed with intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) to evaluate PE. Depression status of the patients was evaluated by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II).Results:The mean age of the patients was 36.04±9.53 years. Patients in the CG with B12 deficiency group had statistically significantly shorter IELT times (137.12±93.58) and higher PEDT scores (11.96±4.66) (p |
