Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects as many as 30 million men and their partners in the United States. Although clinicians now recognize that as many as 80% of cases of ED are organic in origin, psychological issues remain important for the ED patient.
The symptoms of hematuria are easily and accurately detected through careful sediment diagnosis. The path from initial indications to diagnosis often means a major expenditure of laboratory methods, of bioptic excisions, and of radiologic procedures for the examination. Above all, vascular and infected lesions of the kidneys and of the eliminative urinary tracts can cause hematuria, which in every case requires clarification.

No systematic study has examined the psychological impact of premature ejaculation (PE) on the man and his partner. This study explores this vital issue by reporting on interviews of 28 men with self-diagnosed PE. From a qualitative perspective, these interviews assess whether these men had concerns about their PE and, if so, what they were. These men focused on two major themes: impact on self-confidence and future/current relationships. This suggests that PE has a similar qualitative impact on the individual as erectile dysfunction. Further investigation will need to determine how prevalent these concerns are in the PE population and also to delineate the impact on the men s partners.
