Human Papillomavirus Infection and the Risk of Erectile Dysfunction: A Nationwide Population-Based Matched Cohort Study

Abstract: Background: Male patients with genital warts are known for higher rates of sexual dysfunction. This study was conducted to investigate whether human papillomaviruses (HPV) infection is associated with an increased risk of erectile dysfunction (ED). Methods: Patients aged over 18 with HPV infection (n = 13,296) and propensity score-matched controls (n = 53,184) were recruited from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID).

“…The bivalent vaccine protects against HPV type 16 and 18 and young women before sexual debut are recommended to be vaccinated. The quadrivalent vaccine targets HPV type 6, 11, 16, and 18 ( 10 ), and both genders are recommended to be vaccinated ( 11 , 12 ). Taiwan government supports HPV vaccination, but less than 4% of female population has been vaccinated ( 12 ).…”
