Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common disease associated with reductions in quality of life across a range of measures, including sexual health. We conducted a case-control study assessing chronic rhinosinusitis prevalence among men with and without clinically significant erectile dysfunction. We found that chronic rhinosinusitis was significantly associated with erectile dysfunction (odds ratio = 2.0, 95% CI = 1.8-2.4, < .001) and that this association remained significant even when the interval between chronic rhinosinusitis diagnosis and erectile dysfunction treatment was restricted. This study adds to a growing body of literature demonstrating an association between chronic rhinosinusitis and sexual dysfunction.
慢性鼻-鼻窦炎是一种常见疾病，会降低生活质量，包括对性生活健康的影响。我们进行了一项病例对照研究，评估了患有和不患有临床显著勃起功能障碍的男性中慢性鼻-鼻窦炎的患病率。我们发现慢性鼻-鼻窦炎与勃起功能障碍显著相关（比值比=2.0，95%置信区间=1.8-2.4，<0.001），即使将慢性鼻-鼻窦炎的诊断和勃起功能障碍治疗之间的时间间隔限制为，这种关联仍然显著。这项研究增加了越来越多的文献，证明了慢性鼻-鼻窦炎与性功能障碍之间存在关联。
