[Sexual dysfunction in males with concomitant urological diseases].

A clinical data was studied for 117 males without complaints for copulative disorders admitted to urological clinic electively for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)--44 (37.6%), urolithiasis--25 (21.4%), external genital diseases--17 (14.5%), renal cyst and hydronephrosis--16 (13.7%), renal and vesical tumors--15 (12.8%). Mean age of the patients was 56.2 +/- 16.1 years. The patients filled in IPSS and IIEF questionnaires. Mean score set (+/-SD) for IIEF and IPSS was 35 +/- 23 and 12 +/- 10, respectively. The majority of the patients (n = 61) were not sexually active. Erectile dysfunction (ED) was detected in 23 (19.7%) patients: mild and moderate in 19 (16.2%) and 4 (3.4%), respectively). 24 (73%) patients with normal erectile function, 10 (44%) patients with ED and the majority (n = 37) of sexually inactive men were satisfied with their sexual activity. Those males who needed improvement of sexual life quality had higher (p < 0.05) parameters of erectile function and sexual satisfaction. Age of the patients (R2 = 33.1; p < 0.0001) and IPSS index (p < 0.015) were leading indices in determining condition of the copulative function. IIEF correlated with tumors of the kidney or urinary bladder (p < 0.004) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (p < 0.015). Erectile dysfunction in men with urological diseases was closely related with age and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms. Other sexual disorders may be due both to general causes and urological diseases.
