Abstract

Background: Erectile dysfunction is widespread among men with diabetes and can affect all aspects of their life including physical, emotional, social, sexual, and relationships. In Egypt, there are limited studies on this health problem in primary health care patients. Aim: This study was carried out to assess the prevalence and associated factors of erectile dysfunction among diabetic primary care patients in Ismailia governorate. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 420 diabetic patients and was conducted in primary health care settings in the Ismailia governorate affiliated with the General Authority of Healthcare from April 2021 to April 2022. All participants were interviewed. Sociodemographic data, diabetes characteristics, lifestyle, surgical and sexual history, the Arabic translations of the abridged 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) Questionnaire, and the 5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) were collected. Results: Overall, 68.6% of patients had erectile dysfunction classified as mild (27%), mild-to-moderate (23.8%), moderate, (13.4%), and severe dysfunctions (4.4%). Erectile dysfunction had significant and positive associations with rising age (odds ratio [OR] 1.088, P=0.001), not working (OR 0.207, P=0.016), current smoking (OR 5.510, P<0.001), having retinopathy (OR 3.862, P=0.019), suboptimal glycemic control (OR 0.214, P=0.035), hypertension (OR 4.683, P<0.001), increased body mass index (OR 1.139, P=0.033), and lower well-being score (OR 0.698, P<0.001). Conclusion: Erectile dysfunction was prevalent among diabetic primary care men, and its assessment and management are needed during caring for diabetic PHC patients.
