Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in chronic prostatitis patients and its relation with patients' age and the course of disease.
Methods:
Questionnaire surveys were completed by 2 000 subjects who met the criteria for chronic prostatitis after clinical examination and expressed prostatic secretion analysis. Included in the questionnaire were: (1) age, height, weight, occupation, course of disease and treatment received; (2) NIH-CPSI; and (3) IIEF-5.
Results:
The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in patients with chronic prostatitis was 49.0% : 26.2% of the subjects with premature ejaculation, 15.0% with erectile dysfunction and 7.7% with both premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.
Conclusion:
The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in patients with chronic prostatitis is high, which is negatively correlated with both the age of the patients (P < 0.001) and the course of the disease (P < 0.001).
