Study Objectives:
To determine the prevalence and determinants of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) among men with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Materials And Methods:
Seventy-seven adult men with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were assessed for Erectile Dysfunction using the 'IIEF-5' questionnaire. They were also assessed for the presence of certain clinical factors in other to determine their degree of correlation with ED.
Results:
The mean age of the study subjects was 56.8(+/-2.4) years. Almost all (96.1%) were married. Forty-four (56.4%) men volunteered a history of Erectile Dysfunction. When assessed with the 'IIEF - 5' questionnaire, the prevalence of any degree of ED was 74% while moderate to severe ED was found in 39(51%) of the patients. The only clinical variables that had statistically significant correlation with ED were the age of the patients (p=0.04) as well as the duration of diabetes (p=0.04).
Conclusion:
- Erectile Dysfunction is a very common condition among men with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus in Ilorin, Nigeria and should therefore be routinely sought for by the clinicians. The two clinical factors that confer significant risk to development of ED, from this study are non-modifiable. More emphasis should therefore be placed on treatment rather than the prevention of this condition.
