Correlation between Serum Total Testosterone and the AMS and IIEF Questionnaires in Patients with Erectile Dysfunction with Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome

Abstract: PurposeThis study was conducted to investigate the relationship between serum total testosterone levels and scores on the Aging Male's Symptom (AMS) scale and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) in men with erectile dysfunction with testosterone deficiency syndrome (TDS).Materials and MethodsFrom January 2005 to July 2008, 134 patients who complained of sexual dysfunction such as erectile dysfunction or decreased libido as the main symptoms of TDS with serum total testosterone levels less than … Show more

“…No significant relationship between the serum total testosterone level and the IIEF was observed in this study. This result contradicts the results of a recently published study showing a weak association between the IIEF and the total testosterone level [ 24 ]. This discrepancy may be the result of the differences in inclusion criteria.…”

“…It is possible that men with a low libido who report low sexual activity are less bothered by the condition and therefore do not answer "yes" to the question. Libido is also correlated with the level of testosterone, which also deteriorates with increasing age [23]. This may explain the halt in the linear increase of ED for men over the age of 80 years.…”

“…Lower serum testosterone levels have been observed in the setting of sleep restriction and fragmentation that corrupts diurnal GnRH release, and thus testosterone production 26–28 . Sleep fragmentation often results in the loss of the first phase of REM sleep, when testosterone levels are highest during a sleep cycle, and can explain the lower, more variable testosterone levels previously observed in non-standard shift workers 21, 26, 29 . In our cohort, determination of the effects of non-standard shift work on serum hormone levels was limited due to a significant proportion of men already being on TTh.…”
