Factors related to early recovery of sexual function after revascularization for post-traumatic arteriogenic erectile dysfunction in young patients

IntroductionErectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.ObjectivesED is a common condition in psychiatric patients, which can modify their quality of life.AimsThe aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and the severity of ED in psychiatric patients.MethodsThis naturalistic, observational study was conducted during a six months period. The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) 15-item questionnaire was used to assess 144 male inpatients with different psychiatric disorders. IIEF is a brief, cross-culturally valid, self-administered scale for detecting treatment-related changes in patients with erectile dysfunction and addresses the relevant domains of male sexual function: erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction. The patients were analyzed by age, psychiatric diagnosis, medication, IIEF scores at admission.ResultsThen mean age was 36.4 years. The lot included 44 patients with Psychotic Disorders, 68 with Mood Disorders, 21 with Alcohol Dependence, 11 with Personality Disorders. Severe ED was registered in 38% of investigated patients, which determined abandon of sexual attempts in 57% of cases; 12% had moderate ED, 15% had mild to moderate ED, 18% had mild ED and 17% had normal sexual function. No orgasm was reported in 32% of patients and 37% had no sexual desire. Under treatment with antipsychotic medication 78% had severe or moderate ED.ConclusionsSevere ED was correlated with age, also being seen in young patients. ED was correlated with depression, schizophrenia and antipsychotic medication.

Abstract: Normal sexual function is a bio-psycho-social process which is significantly related to the quality of life (QOL). Any disturbance in one of the components can be a disaster in sexual life. Erectile dysfunction is a disability to get an erection or to maintain the erection well enough for a sexual intercourse, which persists or recurs at least three months conse-cutively due to either psychogenic or organic disturbances, or both. Some psychogenic dis-turbances especially depression, anxiety, and relational distress, play some important roles in ED. Besides that, aging, low testoteron level, physical diseases, and some certain medicines have to be included. Key words: erection, erectile dysfunction, sexual stimulus, depression. Abstract: Fungsi seksual yang normal merupakan suatu proses biopsikososial yang berkaitan langsung dengan kualitas hidup. Adanya gangguan pada salah satu komponen dapat menjadi malapetaka bagi kehidupan seksual. Disfungsi ereksi dapat dedefinisikan sebagai suatu keti-dakmampuan untuk ereksi atau mempertahankan ereksi yang cukup untuk melakukan hu-bungan seksual yang memuaskan, yang menetap atau berulang paling tidak selama tiga bulan berturut-turut. Gangguan psikogenik khususnya sindroma depresi, ankietas, dan distres relasional berperan penting dalam hal terjadinya disfungsi ereksi. Disamping itu usia lanjut, rendahnya kadar testoteron, penyakit fisik, dan beberapa jenis obat perlu diperhitungkan. Kata kunci: fisiologi ereksi, disfungsi ereksi, stimulus seksual, depresi.

Abstract: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common among cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients. It is an important component of the quality of life. Moreover, it also confers an independent risk for future CV events. There is usual a 3-year time frame between the onset of ED symptoms and a CV event which offers an opportunity for risk mitigation. Thus, sexual function should be incorporated into CVD risk assessment for all males. Algorithms for the management of patient with ED have been proposed according to the risk for sexual activity and future (comprising of both lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatment) improve overall vascular health, including sexual function. Proper sexual counselling improves the quality of life and increase adherence to medication. Testosterone assessment may be useful for both diagnosis of ED, risk stratification, and further management. There are issues to be addressed, such as whether PDE5 inhibitors reduce CV risk. Management of ED requires a collaborative approach and the role of the cardiologist is pivotal.Keywords: cardiovascular disease, erectile dysfunction, sexual functionAbstrak: Disfungsi ereksi (DE) umumnya ditemukan pada pasien dengan penyakit kardiovaskular. DE merupakan komponen penting terhadap penurunan kualitas hidup pada laki-laki dan merupakan indikator terhadap risiko kejadian penyakit kardiovaskular di masa depan. Terdapat jangka waktu sekitar 3 tahun antara munculnya DE dan kejadian penyakit kardiovaskular, sehingga masih ada kesempatan untuk mencegah risiko yang akan terjadi. Dengan demikian fungsi seksual harus dimasukkan dalam penilaian risiko penyakit kardiovaskular pada semua laki-laki. Algoritma untuk penanganan pasien DE telah dirumuskan sesuai dengan risiko aktivitas seksual dan kejadian penyakit kardiovaskular di masa depan. Beberapa pendekatan untuk mengurangi resiko penyakit kardiovaskular terdiri dari perubahan gaya hidup dan pengobatan farmakologi dapat meningkatkan kesehatan termasuk fungsi seksual. Konseling seksual yang tepat dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup dan meningkatkan kepatuhan terhadap pengobatan. Penggunaan testosteron dan inhibitor PDE5 dapat bermanfaat dalam pengobatan DE. Penanganan DE memerlukan kerjasama dari berbagai bidang spesialistik termasuk peran dari kardiologis.Kata kunci: disfungsi ereksi, fungsi seksual, penyakit kardiovaskular
