THE USE OF RIGISCAN® EXAMINATION IN DIAGNOSING PATIENTS WITH ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION IN JAKARTA

Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the characteristic of patients with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and results of Nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity (NPTR) based on Rigiscan® examination in patients with ED in Jakarta. Material & Methods: Descriptive-prospective study of patients with ED in Cipto Mangunkusumo Referral Hospital, Bunda General Hospital Jakarta, and ASRI-Siloam Urology Hospital are recorded during 2015. Patients’ age (in years), marital status (yes/no), duration of ED (in months), and International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) were recorded. NPTR examination were performed while patients were sleeping. Number of events, duration of each event (in minutes) as well as the rigidity (in percentage) and tumescence (in cm) were recorded. The elevation of tip and base penile circumference (in cm) during erection were also noted. Results: There were 34 patients who agreed to perform NPTR test. Most patients were married with the average age of 40.94 ± 10.81 years old. The duration of ED were varied from 5 to 96 months with average duration of 33.7 ± 44.34 months and IIEF-5 score was 6.38 ± 5.14. In general number of erections was 4 ± 3 with 23.4% of them had normal erection. The comparison between organic and psychogenic ED showed that the increment of circumference was significantly less in organic ED patients. Other parameters showed insignificant difference in statistical results. Conclusion: NPTR examination is an objective, effective, and easy-to-use measurement in order to differentiate between organic and psychogenic ED. One third of patients who complained with ED suffered from psychogenic ED and needed referral to other specialists.

Background. Stroke is a severe disease due to its morbidity-mortality. It is the first cause of acquired disability including erectile dysfunction (ED). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of ED in stroke patients at the Douala General Hospital, to identify associated factors and to evaluate their quality of life. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of seven months from November 2016 to May 2017 on two groups of patients in neurology, cardiology, and endocrinology units of the Douala General Hospital (Cameroon): stroke patients (stroke+) and nonstroke patients (stroke-). We collected sociodemographic and clinical data using a preestablished questionnaire. Erectile function was assessed using International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). Associated and predictive factors were determined using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results were significant for a p value < 0.05. Results. A total of 269 patients were included, among them 87 stroke+ (32.34%) and 182 stroke- (67.66%) (controlled group). The mean age was 56.37 ± 12.89 years and 57.18 ± 10.24 years of stroke+ and stroke-, respectively ( p = 0.608 ). Prevalence of poststroke ED was 64.4% ( OR = 3.41 , 95% CI: 1.99-5.82, p < 0.001 ). The average time of occurrence of the poststroke ED was 5 ± 5.85 months. Diabetes and dyslipidemia were the predictive factors of occurrence of poststroke ED. Depression was found both in stroke+ with ED and stroke+ without ED with no difference ( p = 0.131 ). Conclusion. About two-thirds of stroke patients developed ED. Diabetes and dyslipidemia were predictive factors of ED in stroke patients.

Abstract Objective: A pelvic surgery can cause erectile dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate erectile function at various times after pelvic surgery in male patients; to search the non-modifiable risk factors associated with the presence and intensity of sexuality in these patients. This prospective study used the erectile dysfunction IIEF scale. Results: The study population comprised of 106 male patients who had undergone minor pelvic surgery at least 9 months before and during the 2010–2016 period in the 4th Surgical Clinic. A control group of healthy males (N=106) who underwent no pelvic surgery matched for age was also used for reference values. The main age of the participants was 66.16 ±13.07 years old. A history of colectomy was present in 36.8%, 18.9% had undergone sigmoidectomy, and 33% inguinal hernia repair. The percentage of severe erectile function increased from 38.7% before surgery to 48.1% (25% increase) after surgery, at the end of the follow-up period (p<0.05). In the multivariate analysis model, age emerged as an independent predictor of erectile function (p<0.001). Age was the most important determinant of the IIEF score, which was aggravated by 25% from the first to the last assessment of patients.
