Prevalence of sexual dysfunction in Chinese men with chronic prostatitis

Abstract

disease and treatment. The erectile capacity of the men was assessed using the five-question version of the International Index of Erectile Function. RESULTSOf the 2000 men with chronic prostatitis selected, 1786 completed the survey; the overall prevalence of sexual dysfunction in these patients was 49%. The prevalence of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction accounted for 26% and 15%, respectively; 7.7% had both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. There was a negative correlation between prevalence and age, and with the duration of chronic prostatitis (both P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONSThe prevalence rate of sexual dysfunction in Chinese men with chronic prostatitis is high and related to age.

Fluoroquinolone–macrolide combination therapy for chronic bacterial prostatitis: retrospective analysis of pathogen eradication rates, inflammatory findings and sexual dysfunction

“…[50][51][52][53][54] Sexual dysfunction may manifest as ED, orgasmic/ejaculatory dysfunction or altered libido, and has a deleterious effect on the relationship of prostatitis patients. [55][56][57] Moreover, a significantly higher impact of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome on the quality of life (NIH-CPSI domain 3) has been demonstrated in patients with sexual dysfunction when compared to patients with normal sexual function.…”

“…[55][56][57] Moreover, a significantly higher impact of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome on the quality of life (NIH-CPSI domain 3) has been demonstrated in patients with sexual dysfunction when compared to patients with normal sexual function. 50,54 For these reasons, resolution or attenuation of erectile impairment and of other signs/symptoms related to sexual dysfunction is a primary therapeutic goal. In this report, we have shown that ED disappeared after one cycle of combination treatment in 37% of affected patients and did not seem to relapse over a follow-up period of 18 months.…”

Définition et épidémiologie des troubles de l'éjaculation

“…L'ejaculation prematuree etait 2,7 fois plus frequente chez les patients souffrant de diabete depuis plus de 10 ans que chez les patients souffrant de diabete depuis moins de 5 ans et 9,6 fois plus frequente chez les patients dont le contrele metabolique etait mauvais (HbAlc > 7%) que chez les autres [11]. [18], cette prevalence a ete chiffree & 33,9% [17].…”

Pathophysiology of Acquired Premature Ejaculation

“…This syndrome includes urogenital pain, ejaculatory pain, urinary dysfunction, and sexual dysfunction. In the literature, CP has been closely linked with PE (42,(117)(118)(119)(120). While the co-existence of these conditions is common, a true causal relationship or mechanism has not been established.…”

“…In 3,700 men with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), painful ejaculation was reported by 18.6% and was associated with more severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and a 72% and 75% incidence of ED and PE respectively (121). Several studies report PE as the main sexual disorder symptom in men with chronic prostatitis or CPPS with a prevalence of 26-77% (119,(122)(123)(124)(125).…”
