Abstract
Background: To determine the impact of Penile Mondor's disease (PMD) in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED).
Methods: Forty-seven patients diagnosed with PMD were included in the study and analyzed prospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of ED at admission. The patients with ED were named Group 1, and those without ED were named Group 2. The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) forms at admission, 3rd, and 6th months were compared.
Results: There were 21 (44.6%) patients in Group 1 and 26 (55.4%) patients in Group 2. The mean patient ages in Group 1 and Group 2 were 38.1 ± 7.5 and 26.9 ± 10.3 years, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean admission IIEF-5 score was 19.52 ± 1.21 in Group 1 and 22.92 ± 1.23 in Group 2. After treatment, the mean IIEF-5 scores in Group 1 were 19.24 ± 1.14 and 19.09 ± 1.09 at the 3rd and 6th months, respectively. The mean IIEF-5 scores in Group 2 was 22.77 ± 0.99 and 22.96 ± 1.08 at 3rd and 6th months, respectively. In Group 1, the 6th-month IIEF-5 score was lower than the initial score (p = 0.026). In Group 1, the mean BAI score at 6 months increased compared to admission (6.0 ± 1.27 vs 5.43 ± 1.43,p = 0.015).
Conclusion: PMD can worsen symptoms in men with ED who have a low IIEF5 score. The anxiety of recurrence of PMD during sexual intercourse may have caused this situation, or this may also be due to the natural progression of ED.
背景:探讨阴茎蒙多氏病(PMD)对勃起功能障碍(ED)患者的影响。方法:选取47例经诊断为PMD的患者进行前瞻性分析。根据患者入院时是否存在ED分为两组。有ED者称为第1组，无ED者称为第2组。比较入院、第3、6个月的国际勃起功能指数(IIEF-5)和贝克焦虑量表(BAI)。结果:1组21例(44.6%)，2组26例(55.4%)。组1和组2患者平均年龄分别为38.1±7.5岁和26.9±10.3岁(p p = 0.026)。第1组患者6个月平均BAI评分较入院时升高(6.0±1.27 vs 5.43±1.43,p = 0.015)。结论:经前抑郁可加重IIEF5评分较低的ED患者的症状。性交过程中对PMD复发的焦虑可能导致了这种情况，或者这也可能是由于ED的自然进展。
