“…An overall erectile dysfunction prevalence of 86.5% on the basis of the erectile function domain of the IIEF was obtained; 32.5% had severe erectile dysfunction (erectile function domain score 0-10), out of which 52% were in the age range of 46-65 years, whereas only 13% were below 30 years of age. Moderate dysfunction (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) was present in 21.9% of the respondents, whereas 32.3% had mild dysfunction (22)(23)(24)(25). The severity of erectile dysfunction, however, increased with the patients' age.…”

To assess the prevalence of erectile dysfunction among a sample of patients attending a psychiatric clinic, we administered the International Index of Erectile Function on 108 male patients attending the clinic. We also obtained sociodemographic and clinical variables from the patients. The mean age of the patients studied was 39.6 (s.d. ¼ 11.6), with a mean duration of illness of 10.24 (s.d. ¼ 8.2) years. There were 46.8% schizophrenics; other diagnoses include bipolar affective disorder, recurrent depressive disorder and substance use disorder. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction was 83%. Age, marital status, current medications and the presence of comorbid medical conditions were significantly associated with erectile dysfunction; however, only age and marital status significantly predicted erectile dysfunction. We concluded that erectile dysfunction is highly prevalent among patients attending the psychiatric clinic, as such inquiries about sexual function should be routinely carried out by clinicians.

“…This is attributed to increased aromatization of androgens to estrogens, higher SHBG levels (which reduce free testosterone), and possibly to an associated primary testicular failure. ED has been attributed to similar mechanisms in chronic renal failure, 15 and, owing to a defect of metabolic clearance of this hormone, may be associated with moderate hyperprolactinemia.…”

Prominent diseases of the endocrine system, such as diabetes mellitus, hypogonadism, and hyperprolactinemia, may cause erectile dysfunction (ED). ED affects about 50% of male diabetic patients possibly due to the vascular and neuropathic complications. Metabolic control and selective phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors are therapies of choice for controlling ED. By correcting hypogonadism, testosterone levels are restored. This, and the use of dopaminergic drugs, which normalize prolactin levels in male hyperprolactinemia, may be effective in reversing ED in these endocrine disorders.

The prevalence of sexual problems (SP) and sexual satisfaction and their associations with sexrelated perceptions and quality of life (QOL) were investigated by interviewing 3257 and 1568 Chinese adults in Hong Kong by a specially designed computerized telephone-interviewing method. SP was prevalent among male (50.9%) and female (54%) respondents; approximately 50% were dissatisfied with their sexual life. Of respondents, 23.9% of men and 5.9% of women perceived sex as important and 52.5% for men and 33.8% of women reported adequate sexual knowledge. The prevalence of SP ranged from 3.4% (pain) to 29.7% (premature orgasm) for men and 6.9% (anxiety) to 24.7% (lack of interest) for women. Prevalence of erectile and lubrication problems were 9.6 and 23.6%, respectively. Sex-related knowledge, perceived importance of sex, perceived physical health status, sexual satisfaction were predictors of SP. Gender differences and strong cultural influences appear to exist. Moreover, SP and sexual satisfaction were associated with mental health and vitality QOL and overall life satisfaction. IntroductionRecent studies have showed that sexual dysfunctions are common in both sexes. [1][2][3][4] A study in the US estimated the prevalence of sexual dysfunction (SD) to be 43% among women and 31% among men. 5 An analysis of 22 general population surveys conducted in western countries summarized estimates of SD prevalence for men (inability to achieve orgasm: 5%, premature ejaculation: 35%, inhibited sexual excitement: 10-20% and inhibited sexual desire: 1-15%) and for women (inability to achieve orgasm: 5-30% and inhibited sexual desire: 1-35%). 6 Similarly, a large-scale international collaboration of multidisciplinary experts reported that 40-45% of adult women and 20-30% of adult men suffer from at least one SD. 7 It also reported the following prevalence rates among women: low levels of sexual interest at 17-55%, lubrication difficulties about 8-15%, orgasmic dysfunction at 25% and vaginismus at approximately 6%. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction was reported to be 1-9% among young males under 40 y old and rapidly increased with age to 20-40% among males between the ages of 60-69 y. 7 Age, lower education, socioeconomic status, perceived health, diabetes, heart disease and hypertension were found to be important determinants of erectile dysfunction in men. 8,9 SD has also been attributed to other physical, clinical factors and psychological factors. 5,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Research on erectile dysfunction patients indicate that SD has significant adverse effects on both physical and mental health dimensions of quality of life (QOL). [20][21][22][23][24] Sexual dysfunction data for Asian populations are scant and primarily clinic-based. [25][26][27][28][29][30] Moreover, little is known about the prevailing attitudes and perceptions of sexual problems (SP) or its effects on QOL in Asian populations. Few large-scale, population-based studies on SP have been reported in Chinese population study. The study i...
