Before beginning treatment, it is essential to discuss the patient’s expectations thoroughly.Methods: Herein, we report the results of an expert panel discussion about perceptions, expectations, preferences, and attitudes towards PE, its diagnosis and treatment. The panel took place in October 2019 and involved 30 Italian urologists experienced in the management of male sexual dysfunction. It aimed at investigating physicians’ points of view about selected aspects of PE management which emerged during the counselling of PE patients over the previous two years. Treatment-related questions were mainly focused on topical treatment with Fortacin™.Results: Overall, 83.3% of those interviewed declared that most of their patients perceive PE as a bother rather than a disease. The percentage of urologists interviewed perceived that improved subjective control over ejaculation and prolonged intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) as the main benefit expected by the majority of their patients was 56.5% and 10%, respectively. Eighty percent of urologists reported on-demand regimen as the dosage modality preferred by the majority of their patients and half of them reported the topical route to be the way of administration preferred in most cases. Moreover, 73.3% of urologists reported that adherence to treatment was higher in patients undergoing topical treatment. Finally, 80% of urologists perceived Fortacin to be efficacious in patients with acquired PE and 70% of them perceived its efficacy to be independent from IELT.Discussion: Most patients perceive PE as a bother rather than a disease and mainly advocate an improved control over ejaculation. Fortacin is perceived as efficacious in patients with acquired PE, and independent from IELT.Keywords: intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT), premature ejaculation (PE), survey
