Abstract

Background: Genital warts caused by human papillomavirus, significantly impact male sexual function and quality of life. However, the extent of dysfunction varies across studies, necessitating further investigation. This study aims to assess sexual dysfunction and quality of life in men with GWs.

Results: A cross-sectional study was conducted among men diagnosed with GWs. Sexual function was evaluated using the International Index of Erectile Function while the Dermatology Life Quality Index measured quality-of-life impairment. Data were analyzed to determine the severity and distribution of dysfunction across domains. Erectile dysfunction was prevalent, with a mean International Index of Erectile Function score of 14.3 ± 4.2, indicating moderate dysfunction. Orgasmic satisfaction (5.8 ± 2.1) and overall satisfaction (6.5 ± 2.4) were also moderately affected. Quality of life was significantly impaired, with 36.7% experiencing moderate impact, 26.7% reporting a very large impact, and 8% suffering an extreme impact.

Conclusion: Genital warts contribute to substantial sexual dysfunction and diminished quality of life. The results highlight the need for routine sexual health assessments and psychological support. Integrating medical and psychosocial care may improve patient outcomes.

男性生殖器疣患者的性功能障碍与生活质量。

背景：生殖器疣由人乳头瘤病毒引起，显著影响男性性功能和生活质量。然而，不同研究的功能障碍程度不同，需要进一步研究。本研究旨在评估GWs男性的性功能障碍和生活质量。结果：在诊断为GWs的男性中进行了横断面研究。性功能评估采用国际勃起功能指数，而皮肤病生活质量指数测量生活质量损害。分析数据以确定功能障碍的严重程度和跨域分布。勃起功能障碍普遍存在，国际勃起功能指数平均得分为14.3±4.2，表明勃起功能障碍中度。性高潮满意度（5.8±2.1）和总体满意度（6.5±2.4）也受到中度影响。生活质量明显受损，36.7%的人受到中度影响，26.7%的人受到非常大的影响，8%的人受到极端影响。结论：尖锐湿疣导致严重的性功能障碍和生活质量下降。结果强调了常规性健康评估和心理支持的必要性。综合医疗和社会心理护理可以改善患者的预后。
