Abstract:
Objective To discuss the clinical correlation between chronic prostatitis (CP) and erectile dysfunction (ED).Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data from patients who were diagnosed as CP in urology department of the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province and the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.Patients' data were collected from July 2005 to July 2012.All the patients were diagnosed as CP based on their clinical manifestation,the NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index,prostatic fluid examination,routine urine examination and ultrasonography.The condition of erectile function was inquired on every patient and recorded.Results There were 4 315 patients diagnosed as CP in present study,while their age ranged from 17 to 64 years (average,31 years).Sixty-one (1.41％) patients were identified as moderate and severe types of ED (International Index of Erectile Function 5 ≤ 11),while 42 (0.97％) patients were confirmed as ED after they got CP.435/4 315 patients (10.08％)felt obviously sexuality descent after they got CP,and the sexuality was reported improved in 426/435 pa-tients after prostatitis symptomatic relief.Conclusions The incidence rate of ED in CP patients is not ob-viously higher than that in common community.And sexuality descent in patients might be caused by localindisposition and anxiety after CP.
