  Before PRF
  After PRF
  Pa
  Mean IELTb   18.5 ± 17.9   139.9 ± 55.1  
  Median (minimum—maximum) IELT   9.8 (1-49.5)   119.9 (71.2-239.9)   .001
  Mean SSS of patients   1.3 ± 0.3   4.6 ± 0.5  
  Median (minimum—maximum) SSS of patients   1 (1-2)   5 (4-5)   <.001
  Mean SSS of partners   1.3 ± 0.4   4.4 ± 0.5  
  Median (minimum—maximum) SSS of partners
  1 (1-2)
  5 (4-5)
  <.001

  Abbreviations: IELT, intravaginal ejaculatory latency time; PRF, pulsed radiofrequency; SSS, sexual satisfaction score.
  a The difference between before and after treatment was compared with Wilcoxon signed ranks test; P < .05 was accepted as statistically significant.
  b First, the geometric mean of IELT (Waldinger et al, 2008) was calculated for each patient, and then mean and median values of IELT were obtained before and after the study.
