“…Olfaction is central to many important sexual behaviors, and its role in mate attraction has been extensively studied in nonhuman mammals (6). Olfactory function is also significantly correlated with sexual function in humans (7,8), and the primary olfactory network has numerous projections to key limbic areas involved in sexual and emotional processing (9). Furthermore, functional neuroimaging has demonstrated that when exposed to a feminine scent, heterosexual men exhibit increased brain activity in limbic regions associated with sexual desire and arousal (10).…”

“…Increasing age was not a significant correlate with erectile dysfunction in our study. Different results have been reported in various studies done in other parts of the world and p-value in few studies was >0.05 showing that no significant relationship of increasing age with ED and others had p-value <0.05 showing significant association of advancing age with presence of ED 11,12,20 . There is a gradual decline in erectile function with aging in healthy individuals as well.…”

Objective: To determine the frequency of erectile dysfunction among the patients of asthma and analyze the associated socio demographic factors. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Medicine, Pak Emirates Military Hospital Rawalpindi, from Oct to Dec 2018. Methodology: One hundred and fifty seven patients of asthma diagnosed for more than one year by a consultant medical specialist or pulmonologist were included in the study. Erectile dysfunction was assessed by using the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5). Results: Out of 157 patients of asthma, 74 (47.1%) had no erectile dysfunction, 50 (31.8%) had mild, 17 (10.8%) had mild to moderate, 11 (7.1%) had moderate and 5 (3.2%) had severe erectile dysfunction. Mean age of the study participants was 41.74 ± 3.16. Mean duration of asthma among the patients in this study was 5.98 ± 4.38 years. Poly-pharmacy and long duration of illness had significant association with erectile dysfunction (p-value<0.05). Conclusion: There is a high frequency of erectile dysfunction among the patients suffering from asthma. Chronic illness when not under adequate control for a long time or is under control with poly pharmacy might give rise to problems which may be more troublesome than the primary illness.

“…Another similar nation-wide trial performed in Taiwan has detected that AR is a risk factor for ED development in 30-year-old or older men. 23 Different from that study, the patients in both the AR and the control groups in our study were consisted of individuals without any comorbidities who do not use medical therapy due to any chronic disease. Therefore, no correction was necessary to prevent confounding by different diseases during the assessment of the results.…”

A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : Allergic rhinitis (AR) affects daily activities of patients by causing several symptoms including insomnia and chronic fatigue. That being said, the effect of AR on erectile dysfunction (ED) has not been examined adequately. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of AR on ED. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : This study included a total of 196 male subjects, 100 of them being allergic rhinitis patients who admitted to Allergic and Clinical Immunology, Urology and Internal Diseases outpatient clinics of University of Health Sciences, Bursa Postgraduate Research and Training Hospital between October 2015 and December 2016, and 96 of them being healthy controls.18 to 55 year-old males with and without allergic rhinitis were included into the study. Males without any known disease comprised the healthy group. AR group included otherwise healthy patients who were regarded as having AR by skin prick test. This study used the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) to evaluate the quality of sexual life of males with AR, and the results were compared to the healthy male group matched for age and sex. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : The ages, ED scores and ED categories of the AR and control groups were compared. A difference was found in terms of ED scores and ED categories between two groups (p<0.001; p=0.002). No difference was detected in terms of age. ED score of the AR group was found to be significantly lower than the healthy group. In pairwise comparisons conducted for ED category, mild ED rate in the AR group was found to be higher than the healthy group, and the rate of subjects without ED in the healthy group was found to be higher. In terms of mild-tomoderate ED, no difference was found between the AR group and healthy group. The difference between allergic rhinitis and healthy subjects was significant in the 25-34 and 45-55 age groups in terms of ED categorization (p<0.005, p<0.001). C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : As other diseases and medical therapies were excluded from our study, we detected AR has adverse effects on ED and increases ED independently from medication use. We concluded that patients admitting for AR should also be evaluated for ED. Nonetheless, it is clear that larger studies examining the effects of allergic inflammation on ED and investigating the causal relationship between AR and ED are needed. K Ke ey yw wo or rd ds s: : Allergic rhinitis; erectile dysfunction; international index of erectile function Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Allerjik rinit (AR), uykusuzluk ve kronik yorgunluk gibi pekçok semptomlara neden olarak hastaların günlük aktivitelerini etkilemektedir. Bununla birlikte AR'in erektil disfonksiyon (ED) üzerine etkisi yeterince incelenmemiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, AR'in ED üzerine etkisini değerlendirmektir.
