The prevalence of delayed ejaculation in sexually active men is reportedly 3%. Due to its rarity and uncertain definitions, people seek information about delayed ejaculation on the internet. YouTube is one of the largest video platforms preferred global for gathering medical information. We aimed to determine the quality of YouTube videos on delayed ejaculation. YouTube search was performed with the keywords "delayed and retarded ejaculation", and we recorded the first 400 videos according to relevance. The search results were saved in the playlist, and the first 400 videos were evaluated by two independent urologists. DISCERN and Global Quality Scale (GQS) were used to assess the reliability and quality of videos. Repeated (n = 17), off-topic (n = 279), non-English videos (n = 37), and videos with no audio (n = 16) were excluded from the study. The remaining 51 videos were evaluated. DISCERN and GQS scores were statistically significantly associated with video durations (r = 0.329, P = 0.018 and r = 0.349, P = 0.012; respectively). A statistically significant association was also observed between and DISCERN and GQS scores with video power index values (r = 0.466, P = 0.001 and r = 0.422, P = 0.002; respectively). 62.7% (n = 32) videos were low quality, 23.5% (n = 12) were intermediate quality, and 13.7% (n = 7) were high quality according to the GQS. Most of the YouTube content on delayed ejaculation was of poor quality. Physicians should be aware of this situation, and take the lead in bringing high-quality videos about delayed ejaculation to the community.
据报道，活跃男性中延迟射精的患病率为 3%。由于其罕见性和不确定的定义，人们在互联网上搜索有关延迟射精的信息。YouTube 是全球最大的视频平台之一，人们喜欢在这个平台上获取医学信息。我们旨在确定关于延迟射精的 YouTube 视频的质量。我们使用关键词“延迟和延缓射精”进行了 YouTube 搜索，并根据相关性记录了前 400 个视频。搜索结果保存在播放列表中，由两名独立的泌尿科医生评估前 400 个视频。使用 DISCERN 和全球质量量表（GQS）评估视频的可靠性和质量。重复（n=17）、主题无关（n=279）、非英语视频（n=37）和无音频视频（n=16）被排除在研究之外。剩下的 51 个视频被评估。DISCERN 和 GQS 评分与视频时长呈统计学显著相关（r=0.329，P=0.018 和 r=0.349，P=0.012；分别）。DISCERN 和 GQS 评分与视频功率指数值之间也存在统计学显著相关性（r=0.466，P=0.001 和 r=0.422，P=0.002；分别）。根据 GQS，62.7%（n=32）的视频质量低，23.5%（n=12）的视频质量中等，13.7%（n=7）的视频质量高。YouTube 上关于延迟射精的大部分内容质量较差。医生应该意识到这种情况，并带头向社区提供高质量的关于延迟射精的视频。
