: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a leading cause of back surgery in elderly individuals. Additionally, LSS can result in buttock pain; abnormal sensations; or even loss of sensation in the thighs, feet, legs, and buttocks, as well as potential loss of bowel and bladder control. As a further consequence, sexual activity is impaired. However, there is limited information on sexual function in patients undergoing LSS surgery, in general, and among male patients, in specific. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LSS surgery on sexual function in male patients over 50 years. Participants were fifty male patients with LSS aged 50 years and older who underwent LSS surgery at the Imam Reza Hospital in Kermanshah from March 2024 to the end of 2024. To assess sexual performance over time, participants completed the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-15) questionnaire both before LSS surgery and six months after LSS surgery. For pre-post comparison, we used paired -tests. : Compared to the pre-surgery stage, six-month post-surgery improvements were erectile function (+21%; Cohen's d: 1.40), orgasmic function (+35.1%; Cohen's d: 1.49), sexual desire (+27.3%; Cohen's d: 1.48), intercourse satisfaction (+14% Cohen's d: 0.77), overall satisfaction (+34.6% Cohen's d: 1.74), and overall sexual function (+25.3%; Cohen's d: 1.48). : Among a sample of male patients aged 50 years and older, LSS surgery improved all dimensions of sexual satisfaction, including orgasmic, erectile, and sexual functions; sexual desire; intercourse satisfaction; and overall satisfaction. Medical doctors treating males with LSS might consider informing their patients about the favorable effects of LSS surgery on sexual life and sexual satisfaction.
腰椎管狭窄症(LSS)是老年患者进行背部手术的主要原因。此外,LSS可导致臀部疼痛、感觉异常,甚至大腿、足部、腿部和臀部感觉丧失,以及可能出现大小便失禁。进而会导致性功能受损。然而,总体而言,关于接受LSS手术患者的性功能信息有限,尤其是男性患者。因此,本研究的目的是调查LSS手术对50岁以上男性患者性功能的影响。研究对象为50名年龄在50岁及以上的LSS男性患者,他们于2024年3月至2024年底在克尔曼沙赫的伊玛目礼萨医院接受了LSS手术。为了评估随时间变化的性功能表现,研究对象在LSS手术前和术后六个月均完成了国际勃起功能指数(IIEF - 15)问卷。为进行术前术后比较,我们使用了配对检验。与术前阶段相比,术后六个月勃起功能改善了21%(科恩d值:1.40),性高潮功能改善了35.1%(科恩d值:1.49),性欲改善了27.3%(科恩d值:1.48),性交满意度改善了14%(科恩d值:0.77),总体满意度改善了34.6%(科恩d值:1.74),总体性功能改善了25.3%(科恩d值:1.48)。在50岁及以上的男性患者样本中,LSS手术改善了性满意度的所有维度,包括性高潮、勃起和性功能、性欲、性交满意度和总体满意度。治疗LSS男性患者的医生可能会考虑告知患者LSS手术对性生活和性满意度的积极影响。
