    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Sexual Medicine
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting millions worldwide.
    • Sexual dysfunction is a frequently reported comorbidity in epilepsy patients.
    • Understanding the specific nature and prevalence of sexual disturbances in epileptic men is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the spectrum of sexual disturbances in a cohort of 108 men with epilepsy.
    • To investigate the relationship between specific epilepsy types, treatments, and sexual dysfunction.
    • To assess the impact of sexual disturbances on fertility and marital status.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 108 male patients diagnosed with epilepsy.
    • Assessment of sexual disturbances, including hyposexuality, hypersexuality, and ejaculation disorders.
    • Correlation analysis with epilepsy type (e.g., temporal epilepsy), anticonvulsant medication, fertility, and marital status.

    Main Results:

    • Diverse sexual disturbances were observed in 108 epileptic men.
    • Hyposexuality was the most prevalent (46.7%), followed by ejaculation disorders (9.5%) and hypersexuality (2.9%).
    • Lower fertility and marital status were associated with hyposexuality. Higher incidence of hyposexuality was noted in patients with temporal epilepsy and those on long-term anticonvulsant therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Sexual disturbances are common in men with epilepsy, with hyposexuality being the most frequent.
    • Temporal epilepsy and continuous anticonvulsant treatment are associated with an increased risk of hyposexuality.
    • These findings highlight the need for screening and management of sexual dysfunction in epileptic men.
