    This study on male potency disorders found that Dhat syndrome, impotence, and premature ejaculation are common in young, educated men. Antianxiety or antidepressant medications were most effective for treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Urology
    • Men's Health

    Background:

    • Potency disorders in men, including Dhat syndrome, impotence, and premature ejaculation, affect young adults.
    • These conditions are often associated with psychological distress and psychiatric comorbidities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To classify and analyze the characteristics of male patients presenting with potency disorders.
    • To investigate the psychiatric comorbidities and treatment responses in patients with Dhat syndrome, impotence, and premature ejaculation.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 48 male patients with potency disorders was examined and classified.
    • Patients were assessed for demographic factors, presenting symptoms, and psychiatric conditions using standardized scales.
    • Treatment efficacy was evaluated across four groups: antianxiety drugs, antidepressants, placebo, and psychotherapy.

    Main Results:

    • Dhat syndrome was diagnosed in 64.6% of cases, often accompanied by impotence or premature ejaculation.
    • Patients with Dhat syndrome or impotence showed higher scores on neuroticism and depression scales.
    • Antianxiety and antidepressant medications yielded the best treatment response, while psychotherapy showed minimal efficacy.

    Conclusions:

    • Dhat syndrome, impotence, and premature ejaculation are prevalent in young, educated males and frequently linked to neuroticism and depression.
    • Pharmacological interventions, specifically antianxiety and antidepressant drugs, appear most effective for managing these conditions.
    • Psychotherapy demonstrated limited effectiveness and higher dropout rates in this patient cohort.
