Background: Chronic alcohol dependence is known to cause psychosexual dysfunction, which leads to marked psychiatric morbidity. There is a dearth of studies from India in this area. Aim: To estimate the frequency of psychosexual dysfunction in individuals with alcohol dependence and to explore the association between psychosexual dysfunction and various socio-demographic and alcohol-related variables. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted on 50 male patients in a tertiary care center. The evaluation was conducted using a specially designed intake pro forma and tools such as the severity of alcohol dependence questionnaire, checklist for sexual dysfunction and International Classification of Disease, Tenth Revision, and diagnostic criteria for research. Results: Sexual dysfunction was present in 66% of alcohol-dependent individuals. The most common among them was found to be aversion to sex (32%) followed by erectile dysfunction (24%). In most of the cases, patients having erectile dysfunction were also found to have aversion to sex. Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent in male patients with alcohol dependence. The study highlights the detrimental effects of alcohol on sexual function apart from other etiological factors.

Background: Alcohol and alcohol use disorder are known to cause sexual dysfunctions. In turn it may aggravate frequency and amount of alcohol consumed. We assessed the prevalence and the correlates of sexual dysfunction in men with Alcohol Dependence Syndrome (ADS) in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A total fifty Consecutive male subjects were selected on the 3rd day of inpatient care from general hospital psychiatry with a diagnosis of Alcohol Dependence Syndrome with Simple withdrawal Symptoms as per ICD-10 criteria. Co-morbid psychiatric diagnosis was ruled out using SCID – 1. They were assessed for sexual dysfunction using International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), a 15 item questionnaire. Data analyzed using descriptive and chi square test. Results: The mean age of the study sample was 39.26 (±8) years; The mean age of onset of drinking was 19.1(±6.2) years, and that of dependence was 24(± 6.7) years, duration of alcohol dependence was 15 (±7.7) years, with an average daily consumption of 462 (± 330) ml. Out of 50 patients, 38 (76%) reported to have one or more sexual dysfunction. Sexual desire (78.94%), low intercourse satisfaction (76.31%), followed by low overall satisfaction (57.89%), erectile dysfunction (55.26%) and orgasmic function (31.57%) were reported in that order. Co morbid nicotine dependence was found in 31(62%) of those having sexual dysfunction, and was statistically significant in those with erectile dysfunction and overall satisfaction domain with a p value less than 0.05. however other domains did not correlate. Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is more prevalent in male patients with ADS. The prevalence of co-morbid nicotine dependence was high among patients with alcohol dependence syndrome. The findings of the current study indicate that it is necessary to routinely evaluate sexual dysfunction in patients with ADS and research should focus on the pathophysiology of sexual dysfunction among ADS.

Abstract Introduction According to the data obtained in the EZOP Poland study (2015), the prevalence of alcohol dependence in lifetime in Poland amounts to about 2.2% of the population, entailing enormous social, family and personal harm, including health damage. It is estimated that about 72% of alcohol-dependent patients complain about one or more problems related to the sexual sphere, which may result from both the development of somatic complications in the course of alcohol dependence, and from psychiatric complications that themselves can lead to sexual dysfunction. There are reports and clinical observations indicating that the occurrence of sexual dysfunction (SD) can affect the shortening or interruption of the period of abstinence. Aim The aim of this work is to show sexual dysfunctions in alcohol-dependent men and to discuss the factors that may affect the occurrence of the above-mentioned dysfunctions. Material and methods The available literature was reviewed using Medline, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect browsers by entering the keywords: alcohol dependence, sexual dysfunction, comorbidity, alcohol-caused diseases and time descriptors: 1979-2016. Results • Alcohol dependence is associated with the occurrence of various types of sexual dysfunctions (SD). • The diagnosis of SD should take into account all possible causes that may lead to the development of SD in this group of patients, including the comorbidity of somatic diseases or the negative impact of drugs on sexual function. • Occurrence of SD is connected with a higher risk of abstinence interruption. • There is a need to carry out more research in order to better understand the relationship between alcohol dependence and the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions.
