Ejaculatory dysfunction in men with LUTS suggestive of BPH

摘要

The purpose of this study was to assess, using the psychometrically validated Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ), the prevalence of ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD) and bother due to EjD in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and to assess predictors of EjD in this population. In all, 5999 sexually active men with LUTS completed the International Prostate Symptom Score, which rates LUTS severity, and the MSHQ long-form, which evaluates seven EjD symptoms and bother due to EjD. Concomitantintake of medical treatments for BPH and previous BPH-related surgery were collected. The impact of treatments on EjD was compared to a control group (ie no previous BPH-related surgery and no medical treatment for BPH). The relationship between EjD, bother due to EjD and selected clinical characteristics was analysed using multiple regression analysis.
