Study Notes
Erectile Dysfunction and Associated Factors
- Duration of diabetes strongly correlates with increased risk of erectile dysfunction (ED).
- Metabolic syndrome linked to a 2.6-fold increase in ED incidence; fasting blood glucose is particularly risky.
- ED prevalence rises with age; particularly predictive in men aged 40-49 regarding coronary artery disease (CAD).
- In men under 40, the incidence of CAD with ED is seven times higher than in controls.
Psychological and Medical Assessment
- ED can indicate increased cardiovascular risk, especially in younger men and minorities.
- IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function) is recommended for assessing cardiovascular risk in men with ED.
- Categories used to assess impotence: Not impotent, minimally, moderately, and severely impotent based on erection ability.
Medications and Substance Use
- A wide array of medications can cause or worsen ED, including:
- Antidepressants (SSRIs, tricyclics)
- Antihypertensives (beta-blockers, diuretics)
- Antipsychotics (e.g., chlorpromazine)
- Alcohol, nicotine, and illicit drugs (cocaine, marijuana)
Treatment Options and Lifestyle Modifications
- Lifestyle changes advised for men with metabolic syndrome to lower cardiovascular risk and ED.
- Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors are considered the first-line treatment for ED.
- Vacuum devices may be employed alongside treatments for enhanced effect; high patient satisfaction noted.
- Treatment of coexisting mood disorders (depression/anxiety) may be prioritized before addressing ED.
Additional Considerations
- Normal nocturnal erections indicate possible psychogenic causes of ED if present.
- Assessing the number, duration, and rigidity of nocturnal erections can provide further insight, although interpretations can be unreliable in older or anxious patients.
