Lomber Disk Hernili Erkeklerde Ağrının Erektil Fonksiyon Üzerine Etkisi
GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Lomber disk hernisi (LDH) mevcut olan erkeklerde erektil disfonksiyon varlığını ve ağrının şiddetinin erektil fonksiyonlar üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: 30-60 yaş arası, bel ağrısı nedeniyle beyin cerrahi polikliniğine başvuran 64 erkek hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Kontrol grubu olarak, üroloji veya beyin cerrahi polikliniklerine başka sebeplerle başvuran 56 erkek belirlendi. LDH mevcut olan hastalarda ağrının şiddetini değerlendirmek için Visuel Analog Skala (VAS) kullanıldı. ereksiyon durumunu değerlendirmek için tüm hastalara Uluslarası Erektil Fonskiyon Değerlendirme (IIEF-5) kısa formu doldurtuldu. BULGULAR: LDH mevcut olan erkeklerin yaş ortalaması 39,3±4,1; kontrol grubunun yaş ortalaması 40,5±3,4 olarak belirlendi ve iki grup arasında istatistiksel fark saptanmadı. LDH mevcut olan 28 erkekte (%43,7) Erektil Disfonksiyon (ED) mevcut iken,kontrol grubundaki 14 erkekte (%25) ED tespit edilmiştir. Tüm bireyler değerlendirildiğinde LDH mevcut olanlarda ED istatistiksel anlamlı olarak fazla bulunmuştur(p
Effect of The Pain on Erectile Function in Men with Lumbar Disc Hernia
INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the presence of erectile dysfunction in men with lumbar disc herniation and the effects of pain severity on erectile functions. METHODS: 64 male patients aged between 30 and 60 years who were admitted to the neurosurgery clinic for low back pain were included in the study. The control group consisted of 56 males who applied to urology or neurosurgery clinics for other reasons. Visuel Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the severity of pain in patients with lumbar disc hernia(LDH). To assess the erection status, all patients were filled with the International Erectile Function Assessment (IIEF-5) short form. RESULTS: The mean age of men with LDH was 39.3 ± 4.1, the mean age of the control group was 40.5 ± 3.4 years and there was no statistical difference between the two groups. ED was present in 28 men (43.7%) with LDH and 14 men in the control group (25%). When all individuals were evaluated, ED was significantly higher in those with LDH (p
