Hypotestosteronemia has been reported in approximately half of type 2 diabetic men in general. This study aims to assess serum total testosterone levels in type 2 diabetics with erectile dysfunction and to correlate the degree of improvement between sildenafil citrate and testosterone levels.
A cross sectional and prospective comparative interventional study was conducted at the Diabetic Clinic of Assalam Teaching Hospital in Mosul, during the period from January 1, 2009 through to December 31, 2011. The study enrolled 120 type 2 diabetic males with erectile dysfunction who were analyzed with regard to age, duration of diabetes, duration and severity of erectile dysfunction, serum total testosteron levels and the degree of response to sildenafil citrate in terms of testosterone levels. The data were statistically analyzed using the independent two-sample Student t test, χ (2) test and Pearson correlation test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Thirty six percent of type 2 diabetic males with erectile dysfunction were found to have low serum testosterone levels. The hypotestosteronemic and normotestosteronemic subgroups were not significantly different in terms of mean age, duration of diabetes, reduction of libido, and reduction in erectile function. The rate and the degree of improvement of erection by sildenafil in the normo-and-hypotestosteronemic respondents were not significantly different, but the degree of improvement by sildenafil was significantly correlated to testosterone levels among the hypotestosteronemic group.
Hypotestosteronemia was found in 36% of type 2 diabetic males with erectile dysfunction. The degree of improvement of erectile dysfunction by sildenafil was directly proportional to the serum testosterone levels among the hypotestosteronemic group. Therapeutic supplement with testosterone preparation in the hypotestosteronemic diabetics with erectile dysfunction may improve their response to sildenafil.
一般而言,约半数2型糖尿病男性患者存在低睾酮血症。本研究旨在评估伴有勃起功能障碍的2型糖尿病患者的血清总睾酮水平,并将枸橼酸西地那非与睾酮水平之间的改善程度进行关联分析。
于2009年1月1日至2011年12月31日期间,在摩苏尔阿萨勒姆教学医院糖尿病门诊开展了一项横断面、前瞻性对比干预研究。该研究纳入了120例伴有勃起功能障碍的2型糖尿病男性患者,对其年龄、糖尿病病程、勃起功能障碍的病程和严重程度、血清总睾酮水平以及在睾酮水平方面对枸橼酸西地那非的反应程度进行了分析。数据采用独立两样本t检验、χ²检验和Pearson相关检验进行统计学分析。p值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
发现36%伴有勃起功能障碍的2型糖尿病男性患者血清睾酮水平较低。低睾酮血症亚组和正常睾酮血症亚组在平均年龄、糖尿病病程、性欲减退和勃起功能减退方面无显著差异。在正常睾酮血症和低睾酮血症应答者中,西地那非改善勃起的速率和程度无显著差异,但在低睾酮血症组中,西地那非的改善程度与睾酮水平显著相关。
在36%伴有勃起功能障碍的2型糖尿病男性患者中发现了低睾酮血症。在低睾酮血症组中,西地那非改善勃起功能障碍的程度与血清睾酮水平成正比。对于伴有勃起功能障碍的低睾酮血症糖尿病患者,补充睾酮制剂进行治疗可能会改善他们对西地那非的反应。
