Résumé |
Objective |
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of the prostate volume over the erectile dysfunction
Design and method |
A total of 2641 men over 50 years old enter in the CLOSER Program (Cluj-Napoca Prostatic Cancer Screening), a prostatic cancer screening which included PSA, abdominal ultrasound with the detection of the prostate volume (PV), digital rectal examination, the IPSS and, optionally, the IIEF.
Results |
From the total of 2641 patients, 1764 have completed the IIEF test. They were separated in four groups: group A-694 patients (39,64%) between 50-59 years, group B-730 patients (41,38%) between 60-69 years, group C-310 patients (17,57%) between 70-79 years and 30 patient (1,41%) over 80 years-group D. For each group an average of the size of the prostate were determined (average PV)
Group A:
• | 7.5% presented severe ED, average PV 26,32 |
• | 18,4% presented moderate ED, average PV 26.36 |
• | 50,5% presented mild ED, average PV 25,86 |
• | 23,6% with no ED, average PV 25,72. |
• | P<0,01 |
Group B:
• | 11% presented severe ED, average PV 34,01 |
• | 28,9% presented moderate ED, average PV 33,52 |
• | 49,3% presented mild ED, average PV 31,22 |
• | 9,9% with no ED, average PV 30,38 |
• | P<0,05 |
Group C:
• | 43,2% presented severe ED, average PV 37,02 |
• | 32,2% presented moderate ED, average PV 36.75 |
• | 22% presented mild ED, average PV 36.29 |
• | 2.6% presented no ED, average PV 35.65 |
• | P<0.05 |
In lotul D:
• | 73.3% presented severe ED, average PV 47.9 |
• | 13,4% presented moderate ED, average PV 40.44 |
• | 13.3% presented mild ED, average PV 31.8 |
• | No patient presented normal erectile function. |
• | P<0.08 |
Conclusion |
The prostate volume is highly correlated with ED and can be an important factor in the pathology of the erectile dysfunction.
