“…The study by Mohammad et al [34] demonstrated that mean sexual function score was rated lower in patients with allergic rhinitis. Another three studies [33, 35, 36] examined the effect of allergic rhinitis therapy on sexual function, which was presented as the improvement of FSFI or IIEF.…”

“…• There were no significant differences in the overall FSFI scoring at baseline between women with allergic rhinitis and the controls articles were identified as studies of retrospective or prospective cohorts. There are six articles [27][28][29][30][31][32] delving into the correlation between asthma and sexual malfunction:, 4 studies [33][34][35][36] investigating the relationship between rhinitis and sexual disorder and 2 studies [37,38] reporting the impact of urticaria and atopic dermatitis on SD.…”

Introduction: Sexual dysfunction (SD) and allergic disease are common health concerns worldwide and bear a potential relationship. This scoping review is conducted to analyze the currently available data regarding the associations between these two health issues. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in the databases of PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Web of Science to retrieve studies that were published before January 2023. A narrative synthesis was conducted to analyze the effects of allergic diseases on SD based on the evaluation of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Results: Twelve observational studies were included after the selection process. The results generally suggested lower FSFI or IIEF scores in patients with asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and urticaria compared to the healthy control groups. The underlying factors of this relationship could be inflammation, psychological factors, hormonal changes, sleep disorders, sexual behavior-related allergic reactions, social economic status, and the use of medications. Conclusion: SD and allergic disease are interrelated based on the extant literature. This scoping review provides insights into the clinical implications of both entities, while more research studies are warranted to further elucidate this complex relationship.

“…Subjective assessment was performed at baseline and at 4 weeks using the SNOT-22 questionnaire and a visual analog scale (VAS) formulated for assessing the overall severity of allergic rhinitis. 10,11 VAS subjectively assessed the overall symptom severity of allergic rhinitis like sneezing paroxysms, nasal obstruction, itching, and nasal discharge on a 10-point scale, with 0 showing the overall severity of symptoms being not bothersome to 10 demonstrating it to be extremely bothersome. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy was also performed at baseline and at 4 weeks to determine the endoscopic grading by means of the modified Lund-Kennedy scoring system, which includes characteristics of edema, discharge, and polypoid changes.…”

Objectives Budesonide nasal irrigation is currently widely used in the treatment of chronic sinusitis typically following endoscopic sinus surgery to improve inflammatory control. Its application in treatment of allergic rhinitis has not been previously studied. This study assesses the subjective and clinical response to budesonide buffered hypertonic saline nasal irrigation and hypertonic saline nasal irrigation in patients with allergic rhinitis. Study Design This is a prospective, single-center, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial. Setting Tertiary care hospital. Subjects and Methods Fifty-two patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis were randomized into 2 groups to receive either buffered hypertonic saline nasal irrigation with a placebo respule or buffered hypertonic saline nasal irrigation with a budesonide respule. Patients were assessed at baseline and 4 weeks subjectively using the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test–22 (SNOT-22) questionnaire and visual analog scale (VAS). Clinical assessment was done using the modified Lund-Kennedy score. Results The average SNOT-22, VAS, and modified Lund-Kennedy scores improved in both groups ( P < .001). The budesonide irrigation group was found to have significantly better improvement than the saline nasal irrigation group with the SNOT-22 scores ( P = .012) and VAS scores ( P = .007). However, the difference in the clinical response between the 2 groups was not significant ( P = .268). Conclusion This study adds evidence to the use of saline nasal irrigation in allergic rhinitis but also demonstrates efficacy of the addition of budesonide to irrigations. Budesonide nasal irrigation thus appears to be a viable treatment option for allergic rhinitis.
