“…The effects of vertigo, hearing loss, halitosis and obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS) on sexual health have been previously investigated. In patients with Ménière's disease, erectile dysfunction were reported in men [10]. Similarly, in patients with hearing loss, they found twice the prevalence of erectile dysfunction compared with control subjects [11].…”

“…In this study, the correlation between the amount of HL and sexual function scores was not evaluated. Zapata and López-Escámez [4] examined sexual functions of 48 patients (26 female, 22 male) with Meniere disease. A high prevalence of sexual dysfunction was found in these patients, whose average age was 55.…”

“…A high prevalence of sexual dysfunction was found in these patients, whose average age was 55. [4] Muluk et al [5] compared 20 patients and controls in their study that evaluated sexual functions of patients with tinnitus. They found that patients with tinnitus had lower IIEF and FSFI scores than controls, but this was not significant.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate sexual function scores in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media. Patients and Methods: A total of 35 patients (20 male, 15 female) who had purulent discharge in one or both ears for at least three months and were diagnosed with chronic otitis media were included in the study group, while 30 volunteers (15 males, 15 females) who had no problem with their ears were included in the control group. Patients and controls underwent otolaryngology and urology examinations; female participants were asked to fill the female sexual function index and male participants were asked to accomplish the international index of erectile function. Pure tone audiometry, tympanometry and speech discrimination tests were applied on all participants. Results: A significant difference was found between patients and controls in terms of scores for the subscales sexual desire (p=0.044), erectile function (p=0.012), and overall satisfaction (p=0.002) of the international index of erectile function in males. No significant difference was found between both groups in terms of other subscale scores (p>0.05). A significant difference was found (p<0.05) between patients and controls in terms of scores for the subscales orgasm (p=0.004), satisfaction (p=0.007), desire (p=0.020), arousal (p=0.002), and lubrication (p=0.015) in the female sexual function index. No significant difference was found (p>0.05) between both groups only in the subscale pain (p=0.450). Conclusion: Chronic otitis media also negatively affected sexual function scores and it should also be examined from this aspect.

“…Tinnitus patients accepted living with their disease, and that loss of sexual performance was not observed over the long term [11]. Zapata and López-Escámez [12] evaluated sexual health in patients with Ménière's disease, and suggested that this condition is associated with erectile dysfunction in men .Bakır et al [13] indicated that hearing loss adversely effects men's sexual function and they found twice the prevalence of erectile dysfunction compared with control subjects. In another study with hearing loss patients , the orgasmic function, sexual desire and overall satisfaction domains showed worse scores whereas the scores for erectile function and intercourse satisfaction were similar [14].…”

ÖzetAmaç: Ağız kokusu nefesin hoş olmayan değişimidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ağız kokusu problemi olan ve olmayan erkeklerin seksüel hayat kalitesini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ağız kokusu şikayeti olan, evli, çalışma-yı tamamlayacabilecek, 20-50 yaş arası erkek hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Kontrol grubunu kulak burun boğaz muayenesi normal olan, sağlıklı, evli, erişkin erkekler oluşturdu. Ağız kokusu olan erkeklerin seksüel hayat kalitesi uluslararası erektil fonksiyon anketi kullanılarak değerlendirildi ve benzer özellikte sağlıklı erkeklerin sonuçları ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Seksen hasta çalışmayı tamamladı. Gruplar yaş, vücut kitle indeksi, evlilik süresi açısın-dan benzerdi(sırasıyla p=0.65, p= 0.20, p= 0.08). Ağız kokusu olan grup tüm fonksiyonel alanlarda daha düşük skorlara sahipti(p=0.0001).Ağız kokusunun derecesi ile uluslarası erekfil fonksiyon anketi skorları arasında korelasyon yoktu (p< 0.05). Tartışma: Bu çalışma ağız kokusu problemi yaşayan erkeklerin seksüel yaşam kalitesini değerlendiren ilk çalışmadır. Ağız kokusu sadece ağız sağlığını etkileyen bir durum değildir, ciddi derecede yaşam kalitesini de azaltmaktadır. Kulak burun boğaz hekimleri hastanın sadece ağız kokusunu tedavi etmekle kalmamalı, ayrıca hastanın ağız kokusuna eşlik eden sosyal ve seksüel problemlerle baş edebilmesi konusunda da yardımcı olmalıdır. Anahtar KelimelerAğız Kokusu; Yaşam Kalitesi; Seksüel Yaşam; Uluslararası Erektil Fonksiyon Anketi Abstract Aim: Halitosis is an unpleasant alteration of the halitus. The aim of the study is to assess the quality of sexual life of males with and without halitosis. Material and Method: Males between 20-50 years old; with a complaint of halitosis; married and able to complete the study were included in the study. The control group were healthy, adult, married males who have normal otorhinolaryngologic examination. The International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire(IIEF) were used to assess the quality of sexual life of males with halitosis and the results were compared with a similar group of healthy men. Results: A total of 80 adult subjects completed the study. When the groups were compared in terms of age, body mass index(BMI) and duration of marriage, they were similar (p=0.65, p= 0.20, p= 0.08 respectively). The halitosis group had significantly lower scores for all function domains (p=0.0001).There was no correlation between degree of halitosis and the scores of IIEF (p< 0.05). Discussion: This is the first study investigating the sexual health of males with halitosis. Halitosis not only effects oral health status but also strongly declines quality of life. The otorhinolaryngologist must not only treat halitosis but also help the patient to stand up to social and sexual problems concomitting halitosis.
