problems causing significant distress in men. Despite the increasing
difficulty in management, knowledge, and understanding of factors
responsible for its development are important for prevention and care.
Objectives To assess the prevalence and risk factors for ED among men
in Niger Delta Region of Nigeria, in order to determine its contextual
variables. Methods: Subjects included 400 male patients attending the
general outpatients' clinic (GOPC) of the University of Uyo
Teaching Hospital. Respondents completed the abridged version of the
International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). Results: A total of
166 (41.5%) subjects had ED; 66 (16.5%) had mild; 32 (8.0%) mild to
moderate; 24 (6.0%) moderate; while 45 (11.3%) had severe 37 (9.2%)
resulted from hypertension and its medications; 29 (7.3%) from
diabetes; 49 (12.2%) from a combination of both and their therapies
(P=0.044); 24 (6.0%) had history of previous surgery; while for 27
(6.8%) it was from undiagnosed medical conditions (p=0.001). The ED
increases with age and is more among married and educated men.
Conclusion: ED is a common problem among men in Niger Delta region.
Therefore, efforts must be made to reduce the incidence by dealing with
the factors responsible for its development |
