Socially-epidemiological regularities of distribution of erectile dysfunction in men in Azerbaijan

Abstract

As a result of the epidemiological analysis, it was found that for the observation period from 2016 to 2018 the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men was 36,3±3,4%. The sexual behavior of men with ED was characterized by the presence of a large number of sexual partners from the onset of sexual activity, which did not have significant statistical differences between groups. Analysis of the social status of patients showed that 107 (64,8 ± 3,7%) of the surveyed men in the main group had a higher education, while in the control group only 14 (28,0 ± 6,3%) patients (p>0,05). In 30,3±2,2% of all examined men, chronic inflammatory diseases of the male genital area (prostatitis, vesiculitis, epididymitis) prevailed. 10,6±1,4% of men had endocrine disorders (hyperprolactinemia, hypogonadism, hypergonadotropinemia), 4,9% had varicocele, 9,9% had sexually transmitted infections.
