“…Beside, half of the patients who participated in this study were reported having ED (n = 138). This prevalence is in accordance with two studies conducted in Malaysia previously which reported nearly two third of the study population were suffering from ED (Ab Rahman, Al-Sadat, Yun Low, 2011;Fadzil et al, 2014). Occupation (p = 0.03) and TT levels (p = 0.001) are the significant predictors for worsening of severity level of ED in Malaysian population.…”

“…Few epidemiology studies reported that the prevalence of erectile dysfunction varies according to age range, countries and ethnic groups. In Malaysia, Ab Rahman et al (2011) and Fadzil et al (2014) reported 69.5% and 62% of Malaysian aged 40 years and above have ED respectively and the incidence varies among the three main ethnic groups living in this country (Ab Rahman, Al-Sadat, Yun Low, 2011;Fadzil et al, 2014).…”

The incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED) is rising worldwide and its prevalence is one of the main health concerns that affect overall men well-being in Malaysia. The cluster of demographic, clinical and lifestyle factors may have contributed to the severity of ED and changes in biomarkers level; nevertheless these have not been studied extensively. This cross sectional study involved a total of 276 patients with 138 was diagnosed with ED. The demographic, clinical, lifestyle factors and severity of ED were assessed using a set of questionnaire and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). Meanwhile, Total Testosterone (TT) and Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels were determined using the enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). Binary logistic regression test was used to demonstrate the predictors of severity of ED, TT and ADMA levels. Significant predictors for worsening of severity of ED are self-employed

“…The prevalence of erectile dysfunction ranging from mild to severe was 56.4%, which was in keeping with the range of reported ED in past studies. 21,22 The present study also showed that there was an inverse relationship between age and erectile functioning, which is not a surprise as this finding had been replicated in previous local studies by Khoo 21,23,24 The co-occurrence of ED and PE has been recognized in the literature, with rate as high as 50% 1 and the explanation for this relationship has been always in a unidirectional one, in which ED results in PE. Whilst PE is commonly seen as a psychological condition, ED on the other hand, is commonly associated with vascular-related illnesses, such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.…”

“…17 In this study, study participants were given both versions to choose to fill up. Scoring on the domain of Erectile Function was interpreted as Severe Erectile Dysfunction (1-10), Moderate dysfunction (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16), Mild to moderate dysfunction (17)(18)(19)(20)(21), Mild dysfunction (22)(23)(24)(25) and No dysfunction (26)(27)(28)(29)(30). 18 Malay IIEF-5 has acceptable measurement properties and was recommended for its use in Malaysian clinical practice and research.…”

Introduction: Both premature ejaculation(PE) and erectile dysfunction(ED) are prevalent sexual health disorders that have been inadequately investigated in Malaysia, a multiethnic and conservative nation.The objective of the study was to study the relationship between PE and ED, and other common mental health issues, i.e. anxiety and depression in Malaysian urban population. Methods: The diagnosis for PE was established by clinical diagnosis using DSM-5 and ISSM definition criteria for PE, whereas a diagnosis of ED was established by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. Anxiety and depression levels were detected from the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results: Based on DSM-V and ISSM clinical diagnosis for PE, the prevalence of PE was found to be 25%. Erectile dysfunction (p = 0.035, OR = 3.315, 95% CI 1.088, 10.103) and severe anxiety (p = 0.020, OR = 7.656, 95% CI 1.383, 42.396) significantly predicted presence of PE. Conclusion: There was a strong association between PE and ED and between PE and anxiety. Routine examination for PE in male patients should address the issue and the management of both ED and anxiety among PE patients, especially in an urban Malaysian clinical and medical care setting.

“…Though this could lead to concerns regarding interrater reliability, all final diagnoses were confirmed by an experienced clinician (the author), which minimized this problem to some extent. Sixth, other psychosocial factors that may have interacted with childhood adversity—such as quality of the marital relationship [26], subsyndromal anxiety or depression [27], and substance use [28,29]—were not assessed in depth. Finally, the events grouped together as causing disturbed attachment are heterogeneous and may not have all affected patients to the same extent; the role of potential protective factors could not be examined.…”

Introduction Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common form of male sexual dysfunction. Psychological factors play an important role in the onset and persistence of ED. Disturbed childhood attachment is a biologically and psychologically plausible predisposing factor for psychogenic ED that has not been systematically studied to date. Aim This study aims to assess the frequency and correlates of events associated with parental separation (actual or threatened) and loss in men with a diagnosis of psychogenic ED. Methods The case records of 46 men who presented to a clinic for psychosexual disorders in the period 2012–2013, and were diagnosed with psychogenic ED using a semi-structured interview schedule, were reviewed. Results Events causing actual or potential disturbed attachment (DA) in childhood were reported by 20 of 46 men with psychogenic ED (43.5%). This group of men (DA+) had an earlier age at onset of ED (median 25 vs. 29 years, P = 0.005), were more likely to be single (15/20 vs. 5/26 (χ2 = 14.307, P < 0.001), reported sexual performance anxiety more frequently (12/20 vs. 7/26, χ2 = 5.101, P = 0.024), and were more likely to develop ED in the absence of a proximate stressor (4/20 vs. 15/26, P = 0.015). They also showed a trend toward being more likely to report guilt over early sexual experiences as a contributory factor (5/20 vs. 1/26, P = 0.072). In a binary logistic regression analysis, the presence of performance anxiety (B = 2.01, P = 0.023) and marital status (B = −2.85, P = 0.001) were significantly associated with events causing DA. Conclusions Disrupted childhood attachment was common in our sample of men with ED and is associated with significant differences in their clinical profile, particularly an earlier onset, a lower likelihood of being married, and higher rates of performance anxiety. This study highlights the need to consider early childhood experiences, particularly using an attachment theory framework, when examining the origins of psychogenic erectile dysfunction.
