Résumé
Sexual functionality is considered a vital component of human life and quality of life. Issues with sexual functionality can be a source of distress, lower self-esteem, and lower quality of life. Early detection of medical comorbidities can significantly lower the effect on sexual function. In Saudi Arabia, studies investigating the association between medical comorbidities and male sexual dysfunction (MSD) are limited. Therefore, our goal was to fill this knowledge gap. This study aimed to analyze and elaborate on all cases of MSD at a tertiary hospital, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from 2016 to 2021. This is a cross-sectional retrospective study. The medical records of 321 patients diagnosed with MSD from 2016 to 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. The age, sex, type of sexual dysfunction, comorbidities, and lipids profile were some of the factors obtained from the patient's computerized medical records. The study population included 321 men with MSD and a mean age of approximately 53 years (SD=11.5). Among the sexual dysfunction pattern, only erectile dysfunction (ED) was found in 279 (86.9%) patients. ED duration lasted one to five years in 169 (52.8%) patients. Most of the patients (196, 61.1%) had mild ED severity. Medical causes were seen in 278 (80.4%) patients. The most frequent comorbidities were diabetes mellitus (DM) in 179 (55.8%) patients, hypertension (HTN) in 155 (48.2%) patients, and dyslipidemia in 113 (35.2%) patients. Smoking was not a risk factor for ED. The risk of having a severe form of ED was associated with idiopathic causes, HTN, DM, and ischemic heart disease (IHD). The risk of having a long duration of ED was related to idiopathic causes of ED and high serum creatinine levels. In conclusion, patients diagnosed with DM, HTN, and IHD are at greater risk to experience a severe form of ED. It is crucial to keep erection function in mind for patients with DM, HTN, and IHD as this is associated with severe ED.
