Abstract

Introduction: Exercise is a simple, safe, and affordable solution that can be easily taught to men with chronic illnesses to improve their psychological burden and sexual health.

Aim: Since the role of exercise in ameliorating the psychological burden associated with erectile dysfunction (ED) in hepatitis C (HC) men was not explored, this research aimed to explore this role.

Material and methods: This HC study was a randomized-controlled exercise-rehabilitation trial. Recruitment of HC men with ED was conducted from El-Sahel Teaching Hospital, Cairo, Egypt. Men (n = 46) were randomly assigned to a 12-week walking-exercise group (WEG, n = 23 HC men with ED received a 1-hour treadmill walking 3 times weekly) or a control group (n = 23 HC men with ED, who did not change their daily physical activity during the research period). Besides Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), Arabic Version of the Five-Item Version International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), Profile of Mood States Questionnaire (POMSQ), and Ten-Statement Rosenberg self-esteem scale (TSRSE), HC participants' liver enzymes, alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate transaminase (AST) were assessed.

Results: Significant improvements of POMSQ, BDI, AST, IIEF-5, ALT, and TSRSE within the WEG only were seen. No significant changes occurred in the control group's parameters.

Conclusions: Exercise (walking) is a good modality to improve liver enzymes, ED, and ED-associated psychological burden (depression, low self-esteem, and mood disturbances) in HC men with ED.

跑步机步行运动对丙型肝炎患者肝酶、心理负担和勃起功能障碍的随机对照影响

运动是一种简单、安全、负担得起的解决方案，可以很容易地教给患有慢性疾病的男性，以改善他们的心理负担和性健康。目的：由于尚未探讨运动在改善丙型肝炎（HC）男性勃起功能障碍（ED）相关心理负担中的作用，本研究旨在探讨这一作用。材料和方法：本HC研究是一项随机对照运动康复试验。从埃及开罗的萨赫勒教学医院招募患有ED的HC男性。男性（n = 46）被随机分配到为期12周的步行运动组（WEG, n = 23名患有ED的HC男性每周进行3次1小时的跑步机步行）或对照组（n = 23名患有ED的HC男性，他们在研究期间没有改变他们的日常身体活动）。除贝克抑郁量表（BDI）、阿拉伯文版国际勃起功能五项指数（IIEF-5）、心境量表（POMSQ）和罗森博格自尊量表（TSRSE）外，HC参与者的肝酶、丙氨酸转氨酶（ALT）和天冬氨酸转氨酶（AST）也被评估。结果：仅在WEG范围内，POMSQ、BDI、AST、IIEF-5、ALT和TSRSE均有显著改善。对照组的各项参数未发生显著变化。结论：运动（步行）是改善HC男性ED患者肝酶、ED和ED相关心理负担（抑郁、低自尊和情绪障碍）的良好方式。
