Characteristics and outcomes of men with erectile dysfunction as the presenting symptom due to a lactotroph adenoma.
Purpose: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is frequently underreported in men suffering from prolactinomas and can be challenging to manage. Both dopamine agonists (DAs) and transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) correct hyperprolactinemia and restore gonadal function. However, there is scarce data regarding their effectiveness in correcting ED over the long term.
Methods: This study is a retrospective single-center comparative cohort study analyzing men diagnosed with prolactinomas, both with and without confirmed erectile dysfunction (ED) at diagnosis. Independent risk factors for persistent ED over the long term were examined using multivariate logistic regression.
Results: Among the 39 men with lactotroph adenomas, ED was one of the presenting symptoms in 22 (56%). The mean age at diagnosis was 45 ± 12 years. Surgery was the primary treatment in 6 (27%) ED patients and 8 (47%) non-ED patients. After a mean follow-up of 74 ± 48 months, remission from hyperprolactinemia was achieved in the majority (76%) of men: 71% in the non-ED cohort and 81% in the ED group (p = 0.70), regardless of the primary treatment strategy (surgical 84% versus medical 72%, p = 0.46). Long-term remission of ED was noted in 16 (73%) patients. Interestingly, high baseline BMI levels emerged as potential risk factors for persistent ED over the long term (OR 1.4, 95%CI 1.0-1.9; p = 0.04), while neither the initial adenoma size nor the primary treatment strategy (i.e., TSS vs. DAs) reached statistical significance.
Conclusions: Correcting hyperprolactinemia and its associated hypogonadism significantly improves ED in the majority of men with prolactinomas over the long term, regardless of the primary treatment strategy employed. In addition to addressing endocrine deficiencies, the early initiation of weight control programs may be considered for men with lactotroph adenomas and ED. Although our study suggests an association between BMI and the risk of persistent ED, further research is needed to establish any causal relationships.
期刊介绍：
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
