Irregular patterns of marital cohabitation are a common problem in upper Egypt due to employment conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of irregular marital cohabitation on the quality of life and sexual function of infertile men.
In total, 208 infertile men were included and divided into two groups. The first group included 134 infertile men with an irregular pattern of marital cohabitation and the second group included 74 infertile men with a regular pattern of marital cohabitation. All subjects were assessed through a clinical evaluation, conventional semen analysis, the fertility quality of life (FertiQoL) questionnaire, the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) score, and the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PMEDT).
The two groups were compared in terms of conventional semen parameters, FertiQoL, IIEF-5 score, and PMEDT. Infertile men with an irregular pattern of marital cohabitation had significantly lower subscale and total FertiQoL and IIEF-5 scores. Additionally, they had significantly higher PMEDT scores. Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation were more common in them than in infertile men with a regular pattern of marital cohabitation.
Irregular patterns of marital cohabitation had an adverse effect on quality of life and sexual function in infertile men.
由于就业条件,婚姻同居模式不规律在上埃及是一个常见问题。本研究的目的是调查不规律婚姻同居对不育男性生活质量和性功能的影响。
总共纳入208名不育男性并将其分为两组。第一组包括134名婚姻同居模式不规律的不育男性,第二组包括74名婚姻同居模式规律的不育男性。所有受试者均通过临床评估、常规精液分析、生育生活质量(FertiQoL)问卷、国际勃起功能指数(IIEF-5)评分以及早泄诊断工具(PMEDT)进行评估。
对两组在常规精液参数、FertiQoL、IIEF-5评分和PMEDT方面进行比较。婚姻同居模式不规律的不育男性在分量表及FertiQoL和IIEF-5总分上显著更低。此外,他们的PMEDT评分显著更高。勃起功能障碍和早泄在他们当中比婚姻同居模式规律的不育男性更常见。
婚姻同居模式不规律对不育男性的生活质量和性功能有不利影响。
