Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the degree of erectile dysfunction in the benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) of men with moderate and severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) .Methods Total 140 patients with moderate and severe LUTS of BPH were investigated using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5). Erectile dysfunction was less than 21 scores, but erection was more than 21 scores. Regression analysis was used to determine the degree of any correlation among age, the total IPSS, the moderate and severe IPSS score and the various erectile function scores.Results The mean age of the patients was (69 2?7 18) years. The mean total IPSS score was 23 3?7 7, consisting of 45 patients (32%) for moderate IPSS score and 95 patients (68%) for severe IPSS score. The mean IIEF-5 score was 6 8?8 02. There were erection patients in 11 cases (7 9%) and erectile dysfunction patients in 129 cases (92 1%). On the other hand, 41 cases (91%) for moderate IPSS score and 88 cases (93 6%) for severe IPSS score exists erectile dysfunction. There were no significant correlation among IIEF-5 score and patients age (?=0 417), the total IPSS (?=0 235), the moderate (?=0 07) and severe IPSS score (?=0 332). Conclusions About 90% BPH men complicated with LUTS have erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is related to age and the extent of LUTS. LUTS is not an important factor of erectile dysfunction. The high morbidity of erectile dysfunction in BPH men with LUTS should be consider in the treatment of their urinary symptoms.
