Most patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) share many risk factors and similar aetiological agents with erectile dysfunction (ED). Both conditions also cause serious interference with quality of life and sexual relationships. In general, ageing and chronic illness decrease sexual interest, sexual function, and testosterone levels. This observational study included 66 male patients referred to our centre with different grades of COPD. We studied the different correlations between COPD and ED. The data collected from each patient regarded the following features: demographic and social condition; smoking status; clinical status; spirometric measurements. In this group, COPD was diagnosed in 78.8% and ED was present in 83.3% with increased severity in presence of LUTS and nicotinism.
大多数慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者与勃起功能障碍(ED)有许多共同的风险因素和相似的病因。这两种疾病还会严重干扰生活质量和性关系。一般来说,衰老和慢性病会降低性兴趣、性功能和睾酮水平。这项观察性研究纳入了66名因不同程度COPD转诊至我们中心的男性患者。我们研究了COPD与ED之间的不同相关性。从每位患者收集的数据涉及以下特征:人口统计学和社会状况;吸烟状况;临床状况;肺功能测量。在该组中,78.8%的患者被诊断为COPD,83.3%的患者存在ED,在存在下尿路症状(LUTS)和烟瘾的情况下病情严重程度增加。
