A 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study evaluated the efficacy and safety of flexible-dose sildenafil citrate (Viagra) treatment (25, 50 or 100 mg) in Brazilian and Mexican men with erectile dysfunction (ED) of broad-spectrum etiology. Efficacy was assessed on the basis of responses to the 15-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire, completed at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment. At end point, mean scores for all IIEF domains of sexual function (erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction and overall satisfaction) were significantly (P<0.0001) higher in the sildenafil group (n=109) than in the placebo group (n=105). These findings confirm the significant increases in frequency of penetration and frequency of maintained erections reported previously. Sildenafil treatment was well tolerated. The most common adverse events were headache and flushing. In conclusion, sildenafil is a well-tolerated and effective treatment for ED of broad-spectrum etiology in Latin American men. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to analyze the morbidity of organic erectile dysfunction (ED) in kidney-transplant patients and to evaluate the efficacy and reliability of sildenafil citrate treatment. METHOD: Sixty-five ED patients with normal graft function for 3 to 12 months after kidney transplantation were involved in our study. Erectile dysfunction was diagnosed in all the patients by the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF). Among them, 10 patients were in light degree; 32 patients in moderate degree, and 23 patients in severe degree according to IIEF score. All of the patients underwent medical history, physical and chemical examinations. In each patient, the IIEF score, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and trough concentrations of cyclosporine were compared before and after taking sildenafil citrate at an initial dose of 50 mg every night. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients without ED before transplantation suffered ED after the operation, and 32 patients with ED before transplantation noticed worsening. Taking sildenafil citrate was effective in 53 patients (81.54%). There were no statistical differences in blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, or trough concentrations of cyclosporine in patients before and after sildenafil treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The morbidity of organic erectile dysfunction increased after transplantation. Sildenafil citrate treatment for ED in kidney-transplant patients was effective and safe. Graft function and trough concentrations of cyclosporine were not affected by sildenafil citrate. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To define the efficacy and tolerability of sildenafil in elderly men, as epidemiological data show an increasing life-expectancy of the population, and age is not only correlated with increasing morbidity but also an increase in the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED), for which sildenafil, available for >8 years, is effective and safe across a wide variety of medical comorbidities, severity and causes of ED. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A database was generated from all sildenafil users in one sexual medicine practice, and data were extracted for men aged >60 years. The database included data on patient demographics, comorbidities, International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scores and adverse events (AEs). The patients were subdivided into those aged 60-69 (group 1), 70-79 (group 2), and > or = 80 years (group 3). Analysis of variance was used to assess differences among the three groups for several variables of demographics and erectile response. RESULTS: In all, 167 patients were analysed; there were no significant differences in the duration of ED (5 +/- 3 years) or presence of comorbidities among the three groups. With a mean of two risk factors, the overall incidence of comorbidities was hypertension in 37%, dyslipidaemia in 28%, diabetes in 26%, coronary artery disease in 18% and lower urinary tract symptoms in 46%. The efficacy data showed that overall, 54% of men responded to sildenafil, with a mean increase in IIEF EF domain score of 5.7. Within the three groups there was a significant age-related decrease in response rate and IIEF EF domain score with age. However, there was no difference in AE incidence among the three groups, with an overall profile of 18% headache, 8% flushing, 8% dyspepsia, 5% nasal congestion and 2% visual changes. No overt cardiovascular events were reported. CONCLUSIONS: From these data, sildenafil is an effective agent in elderly men, but had a lower efficacy rate with increasing age, especially in men aged >80 years. The incidence of side-effects was similar to that in the general population taking sildenafil, with no difference in AEs among the different age groups. 相似文献

To investigate the therapeutic effect of androgen on hypogonadal patients unresponsive to sildenafil alone. In total, 32 hypogonadal patients with erectile dysfunction (ED), initially had an inadequate response to sildenafil (100 mg). Oral testosterone undecanoate (Restandol, 80 mg, bid or tid) alone was supplied for 2 months, and if patients could not achieve a satisfactory erection, combined use of testosterone and sildenafil was continued thereafter. Total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT), and the parameters of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and uroflow rate (UFR) were assessed. Eleven patients (34.3%) achieved satisfactory erectile function after testosterone replacement only. Another 12 (37.5%) patients experienced satisfactory intercourse after combined therapy. Serum TT and FT levels significantly increased after the use of testosterone alone (415+/-163 vs 220+/-101 ng/dl, P<0.01; 10.4+/-4.6 vs 5.1+/-1.9 ng/dl; P<0.01, respectively) and the combined use of testosterone and sildenafil (498+/-178 vs 220+/-101 ng/dl, P<0.01; 11.7+/-4.6 vs 5.1+/-1.9 ng/dl, P<0.001, respectively); as did the IIEF score (14.8+/-6.8 vs 12.6+/-7.5, P<0.01, 17.5+/-5.2 vs 12.6+/-7.5, P<0.001, respectively). However, no statistical differences were demonstrated for IPSS or UFR. In conclusions, one-third of hypogonadal patients with ED who failed to respond to sildenafil, responded to testosterone alone, another third responded to sildenafil again after normalization of testosterone. So, in hypogonadal patients with ED, androgen supplementation is first-line therapy. If patients are unresponsive to androgen alone or sildenafil alone, combined use may improve erectile function and enhance the therapeutic effect of PDE-5 inhibitors. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sildenafil in men with broad-spectrum erectile dysfunction (ED), with reference to age-matched healthy control subjects. METHODS: One hundred eleven patients were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 12-week, flexible-dose study. Efficacy assessments included the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), a global assessment question, and patient event log data. In a separate, nontreatment study, 109 control subjects also completed the IIEF. RESULTS: Mean IIEF scores at baseline were significantly lower for patients with ED than for control subjects without a history of ED. After treatment, mean IIEF scores for patients receiving sildenafil approached values observed in control subjects and were significantly higher than mean scores for patients receiving placebo (P<0.01). Responses to the global assessment question and patient log data corroborated the IIEF results. Sildenafil was well tolerated, with no discontinuations because of adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that sildenafil, an effective oral therapy for the treatment of broad-spectrum ED, is associated with a near normalization of patient erectile function. 相似文献

Clinical efficacy of sildenafil in patients on chronic dialysis 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
PURPOSE: We evaluate the clinical efficacy of sildenafil citrate for patients who are on chronic dialysis and who have concomitant erectile dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 35 men (mean age 60.7 years) on dialysis and with erectile dysfunction of various etiologies were administered 25 to 100 mg sildenafil for at least 6 months. The International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF), a global assessment question and partner satisfaction question were used to evaluate sildenafil efficacy. Patients also reported any adverse events that occurred during treatment. RESULTS: Treatment was effective for 28 of the 35 (80%) patients according to the results of the IIEF and global assessment questions. Partner satisfaction correlated with the IIEF overall response (0.79) and global assessment question results (0.86). No correlation was found between sildenafil failure and patient age, the etiology of erectile dysfunction, duration of erectile dysfunction, prior treatments, testosterone and prolactin blood levels, and the duration and etiology of renal failure. Of the 35 patients sildenafil was stopped due to intolerable headaches in 3 and because of lack of efficacy in 7. CONCLUSIONS: Sildenafil is an effective and safe treatment for erectile dysfunction in most patients on chronic dialysis. 相似文献

The objective of our study was to assess the effectiveness of combining medicated urethral system for erection (MUSE) with sildenafil citrate in men unsatisfied with the sildenafil alone. Baseline and follow-up data from 23 patients (mean age, 62.5 +/- 5.23 years) unsatisfied with the use of the sildenafil citrate alone for the treatment of erectile dysfunction following nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (mean use, 4 attempts/100-mg dose) was obtained. All patients started oral sildenafil citrate more than 6 months after radical prostatectomy. Combination therapy was initiated using 100 mg sildenafil citrate orally 1 hour prior to intercourse. Patients used combination therapy for a minimum of 4 attempts prior to assessment with the Sexual Health Inventory of Men (International Index for Erectile Function-5) and visual analog scale to gauge rigidity (0-100). The effect of therapy on the total International Index for Erectile Function (IIEF) score and penile rigidity score was assessed. Of the 23 patients, 4 (17%) had no improvement with the addition of medicated urethral system for erection and discontinued the drug, while 19 (83%) reported improvement with the penile rigidity and sexual satisfaction. The IIEF scores of these 19 patients showed significant improvements in each sexual domain, and the patients reported that erection was sufficient for vaginal penetration 80% of the time. Rigidity scores on a scale of 0-100 with sildenafil alone averaged 38% (23-53) for men and 46% (26-67) for their partners. With the addition of MUSE, scores increased to 76% for men and 62% for their partners. We conclude that the addition of MUSE to sildenafil improved sexual satisfaction and penile rigidity in patients unsatisfied with sildenafil alone. 相似文献

Our objectives were: (1) to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sildenafil citrate (Viagra) administered to men with broad-spectrum erectile dysfunction (ED) in southern Latin America; and (2) to correlate Rigiscan measurements assessing ED etiology with the investigator's assessment. A total of 141 men with broad-spectrum ED (mean age 57) were enrolled in a randomized, 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, flexible-dose escalation study of sildenafil. After the 12-week treatment period, the mean score for the primary efficacy variables had risen significantly: for the sildenafil group, 66.2% from baseline for question 3 of the International Index of Erectile Function and 77.6% for question 4, vs 15.1% and 21.2% for the placebo group, respectively (P<0.0001). Rigiscan data confirmed investigator assessments of etiology. Headache and flushing, usually mild and transient, were the most common adverse events. Sildenafil was an effective, well-tolerated treatment for men in southern Latin America with broad-spectrum ED. 相似文献

PURPOSE: We examined whether treatment of erectile dysfunction with sildenafil citrate is associated with amelioration of the symptomatology of androgen decline in the aging male, and whether this alters the endocrine pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, crossover study with sildenafil citrate was conducted in 60 men (age range 47 to 75 years old) who presented with erectile dysfunction and screened positively for androgen decline in the aging male by the questionnaire of the same name. The patients were randomized to receive sildenafil citrate or placebo in a 1:1 ratio and were crossed over after 3 months of treatment for an additional 3 months. The evaluation included International Index Erectile Function and Aging Male Symptoms questionnaires, hormonal profiles, total testosterone, and bioavailable testosterone. RESULTS: A total of 40 patients completed the study. Compared to placebo, sildenafil citrate improved erectile function (52.7 +/- 2 vs 39 +/- 1.9, p <0.001) and Aging Male Symptoms score (33.5 +/- 1.3 vs 28.6 +/- 1.3, p <0.001) in the total group. Breakdown into hypogonadal and normal men showed that the International Index of Erectile Function score improved more in normal (Delta 18.5 +/- 3.6) than in hypogonadal men (Delta 6.7 +/- 2.7). There were no differences in improvement on the Aging Male Symptoms questionnaire between hypogonadal and normal men. No treatment changes were observed in total testosterone and bioavailable testosterone. CONCLUSIONS: In the total group of patients sildenafil citrate was associated with expected improvement in erectile function and in the Aging Male Symptoms questionnaire without any alteration in hormonal pattern. The available questionnaires for androgen decline in the aging male are not specific for the diagnosis of biochemical androgen decline in the aging male, although the suboptimal response to sildenafil citrate suggests the presence of hypogonadism. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical efficacy of sildenafil and the potential predictors of poor response to sildenafil in elderly patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 162 patients (aged > or = 60 years) treated with sildenafil for at least 8 weeks; all patients were evaluated with a history, physical examination, measurement of total testosterone and a pharmacological erection test. Sexual function before and 8 weeks after treatment was assessed using the self-administered International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Treatment was considered successful when the patient attained a higher grade on the erectile function (EF) domain score, and an affirmative response to the overall assessment question. Factors influencing treatment outcome were evaluated by univariate and multivariate statistical analysis. RESULTS: The overall efficacy with sildenafil was 47% (76/162). On univariate analysis, uncontrolled diabetes, current smoking, hypogonadism (<3 microg/L testosterone) and low pretreatment EF domain score (<17) were selected as predictors of a poor response. On multivariate logistic regression, a low pretreatment EF domain score was the strongest independent prognostic factor for a poor response (odds ratio 2.25, 95% confidence interval, 1.45-7.33), and this was followed by hypogonadism (1.89, 1.12-3.16) and current smoking (1.34, 1.04-3.52). CONCLUSION: In a real clinical setting, sildenafil was effective for about half of the elderly men. The baseline EF domain score, hypogonadism and current smoking were significantly associated with failure of sildenafil. These results suggest that modifying reversible risk factors, e.g. stopping smoking and replacing testosterone, would be beneficial in augmenting the efficacy of sildenafil in elderly men. 相似文献

The efficacy of sildenafil citrate (Viagra), an oral agent for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), has been demonstrated in global studies. This 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, flexible-dose study assessed the efficacy and safety of sildenafil to treat ED in men in Egypt and South Africa. Men with ED of varied etiology were randomized to receive sildenafil 50 mg (n=128) or placebo (n=126); doses could be adjusted to 100 or 25 mg. Questions from the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) assessing the ability to achieve (Q3) and maintain (Q4) erections demonstrated a significant improvement with sildenafil compared with placebo (P<0.0001). Improved erections were reported by 74% of patients receiving sildenafil and 27% of those receiving placebo (P<0.0001). Headache, dyspepsia, and flushing were the most common adverse events in sildenafil-treated patients. These results are consistent with clinical trials in other countries. We conclude that sildenafil is an efficacious and well-tolerated treatment for men with ED in Egypt and South Africa. 相似文献

PURPOSE: We evaluated the efficacy of testosterone gel (T-gel) alone and in combination with sildenafil in hypogonadal patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 49 hypogonadal men (mean age 60.7 years) with ED participated for a mean of 20.2 months. Blood was tested for total and bioavailable testosterone, and prostate specific antigen. Sexual function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire and a global assessment question (GAQ). Men received 1% 5 gm T-gel for 6 months, and 100 mg sildenafil was added to those with a "no" response to the GAQ after 3 months on testosterone supplement. RESULTS: A total of 31 patients reported significant improvement in the sexual desire domain (from a mean +/- SD of 4.2 +/- 0.8 to 8.6 +/- 0.4) and erectile function (EF) domain (from 13.6 +/- 1.9 to 27 +/- 0.8) following treatment with testosterone supplement alone. One patient was excluded from study after urinary retention developed and 9 reported irritation at the gel application site. In spite of normalization of total and bioavailable testosterone values, and significant improvement of sexual desire domain scores, the EF of 17 men remained less than 26 or they responded "no" to the GAQ. These men received combined T-gel and sildenafil, after which all graded EF greater than 26 and responded positively to the GAQ. CONCLUSIONS: Combined treatment with sildenafil and T-gel has a beneficial effect on ED in hypogonadal patients in whom treatment with testosterone supplement alone failed. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To assess efficacy of sildenafil citrate in treatment of erectile dysfunction: effect of type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 466 male patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) were enrolled in this study. Of them 382 were diabetic and 84 were non-diabetic. Patients were screened for ED using the erectile function domain of the International Index for Erectile Function (IIEF). Patients underwent routine laboratory investigations, in addition to total testosterone and prolactin assessment. To assess the effect of diabetes on efficacy of sildenafil, we compared the pre and post sildenafil responses to erectile function domain, Q3, Q4. Overall satisfaction and global efficacy question (GEQ) were also assessed. RESULTS: Mean age +/- S.D. was 53 +/- 8.4 and 49.7 +/- 10.6 years for patients with and without diabetes respectively. There were significant associations between increased severity of ED and longer duration, poor metabolic control and presence of more than one diabetes-related complication (p < 0.05 for each). Differences were significant between pre and post sildenafil administration regarding erectile function domain, Q3, Q4 (p < 0.05 for each). In the non-diabetic patients the GEQ and the overall satisfaction were significantly higher than in diabetics (p < 0.05 for each). Global efficacy question was significantly low in patients with fair and poor metabolic control, longer duration of diabetes, and patients with diabetic complications (p < 0.05 for each). CONCLUSIONS: Sildenafil is an effective treatment for diabetic patients with ED. Although the efficacy of sildenafil was negatively affected by factors as poor control and longer duration of diabetes and presence of more than one diabetes-related complication, however, the global efficacy and the overall patients' satisfaction were high. 相似文献

Although sildenafil citrate (Viagra) has demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), the dosing regimens often used in clinical trials may not always match those employed in clinical practice. This study was undertaken to further assess the efficacy and safety of sildenafil taken as required in male outpatients 18 years of age and older with ED (n=71). It was conducted as a placebo-baseline-controlled, open-label, flexible dose-escalation study, with sildenafil (25,50, or 100 mg) administered for 8 weeks following a 4-week placebo run-in. Efficacy variables included questions 3 and 4 of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), other IIEF domains, patient event logs, and quality-of-life (QOL) assessments. Treatment with sildenafil resulted in improvements from baseline in all IIEF domains analyzed (all P<0.0001), as well as overall QOL and amelioration of specific sexual and social relationships (all P&<0.0001). Sildenafil was well tolerated. One participant discontinued treatment because of adverse events. Results suggest that flexible dosing with oral sildenafil is safe and has beneficial effects on all indices of erectile function and QOL. 相似文献

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more frequent among end-stage renal failure patients than the normal population. Sildenafil citrate has been successfully used for the symptomatic treatment of erectile dysfunction. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of sildenafil citrate in the treatment of ED in patients on hemodialysis. Fifty-five hemodialysis patients above 18 years suffering from ED with steady sexual partners were included in the study. The first five and fifteenth questions of the International Index of Erectile Function were employed to evaluate ED in the patient group. A Single 50-mg sildenafil citrate tablet was prescribed for each patient. The patients were encouraged to take it on the day after hemodialysis and 1 hour before sexual intercourse. The erectile function of the patients after the treatment was re-evaluated in the same manner by International Index of Erectile Function. The ages of the patients ranged between 30 and 73 years (mean 50.6 +/- 10.9). The overall response rate was 74.5% (38/51). Side effects were nausea (n = 2), palpitation (n = 2), flushing (n = 1), and angina (n = 1). Sildenafil citrate (50 mg) was observed to be safe and effective for treatment of hemodialysis patients with careful evaluation and proper patient selection. 相似文献

Quality of life in patients with spinal cord injury receiving Viagra (sildenafil citrate) for the treatment of erectile dysfunction 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
STUDY DESIGN: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, flexible-dose, two-way crossover study conducted June 1996 through January 1997. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of sildenafil citrate (VIAGRA(R)) on the quality of life (QoL) of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) caused by spinal cord injury (SCI). SETTING: Study centers in Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. METHODS: Questions 13 and 14 of the 15-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) addressed QoL issues directly related to ED in 178 men with SCI. A 5-item questionnaire addressing concerns that men had about their erection problems was also used to evaluate the impact of ED on QoL. Several commonly used psychometric instruments, including the Medical Outcomes Survey (MOS) Short Form-12, Psychological General Well-Being Index, and MOS Family Survey, assessed general QoL issues. RESULTS: Significant improvements were seen for overall satisfaction with sex life (IIEF Q13), sexual relationship with partner (IIEF Q14), and concerns about erectile problems (P<0.0001). Improvements were reported in scores for the generic QoL parameters of mental health, well-being, depression, and anxiety (P<0.05 sildenafil versus placebo). CONCLUSION: Treatment with sildenafil can significantly improve key QoL parameters in men with ED caused by SCI. Sponsorship: This study was funded by Pfizer Inc.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy and safety of sildenafil citrate in the management of erectile dysfunction (ED) following radical cystectomy (RC) and to define the different prognostic factors predicting the response to sildenafil in such a challenging group of patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred patients with ED following RC participated in an open-label, non-randomized, prospective, dose-escalation study. The median age of the patients was 53 years and the mean period after RC was 80.7 +/- 54.8 months. The study duration was 12 weeks, comprising a 4-week run-in period followed by two active treatment periods of 4 weeks each with 50 and 100 mg of sildenafil. Patients were assessed by means of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire at baseline and after each treatment period. At the end of the study, the Global Efficacy Assessment Question was used to evaluate treatment satisfaction. Factors affecting the patient's response to sildenafil were assessed by means of uni- and multivariate analysis. RESULTS: The entire study group was suffering from severe ED at baseline, with a mean erectile function (EF) domain score of 6.5 +/- 0.93. EF scores improved to 12.2 +/- 7.76 and 18 +/- 10.3 with 50 and 100 mg of sildenafil, respectively. Sildenafil therapy significantly improved the ability of many patients to achieve and maintain an erection. The mean scores for question 3 of the IIEF were 1 +/- 0.14, 2.1 +/- 1.4 and 3 +/- 1.8 at baseline and with 50 and 100 mg of sildenafil, respectively, while the corresponding scores for question 4 were 1 +/- 0.10, 1.9 +/- 1.35 and 3 +/- 1.85. The satisfaction rate was 54%. The response was dose-dependent but the incidence of adverse effects increased from 6% with 50 mg of sildenafil to 34% with 100 mg. In univariate analysis, tumor histology and grade and postoperative partial tumescence were found to significantly impact the patient's response to sildenafil. In multivariate analysis, postoperative partial tumescence was the only independent predictive variable. CONCLUSIONS. Sildenafil was found to be a safe and satisfactory treatment for post-RC ED. The effect was dose-related. Patients with postoperative partial tumescence were the best responders. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy and safety of fixed-dose oral sildenafil in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) of various etiologies. METHODS: In a 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose study, 514 men (mean age 56 years) with ED were randomized to receive 25, 50, or 100 mg of sildenafil or placebo. The primary etiology of ED was determined to be organic in 32% of men, psychogenic in 25%, or mixed in 43%. Sildenafil or placebo was taken in the home setting approximately 1 hour before sexual activity, not more than once daily. Efficacy was determined by responses to question 3 (ability to achieve an erection) and question 4 (ability to maintain an erection) of the 15-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Other measures of efficacy included the five sexual function domains of the IIEF, a global efficacy question, event log data, and a partner questionnaire. RESULTS: Sildenafil significantly increased patients' ability to achieve and maintain erections (P <0.0001), with efficacy increasing with increasing dose. Significant improvements were also observed in the IIEF domains for erectile function, orgasmic function, intercourse satisfaction, and overall sexual satisfaction (P <0.0001). The proportion of subjects who felt that treatment with sildenafil improved their erections was significantly greater (67% to 86%) than that with placebo treatment (24%, P <0.0001). The proportion of successful attempts at sexual intercourse also increased significantly with sildenafil treatment (P <0.001). Partner responses corroborated patient reports. Sildenafil was well tolerated at the three doses studied. CONCLUSIONS: Oral sildenafil is an effective, well-tolerated treatment for ED of various etiologies. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the use the sildenafil citrate, recognized as a first-line therapy for men with erectile dysfunction (ED), and which is safe and effective in men with various causes and severity of ED, including psychogenic ED, in a population of infertile men with sexual dysfunction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Infertility is a major source of life stress and might be associated with sexual dysfunction through the erosion of self-esteem and self-confidence, and in stimulating discord in a relationship. Men presenting for evaluation of fertility who on questioning by the physician reported the recent onset of sexual dysfunction, had a history taken, a physical examination, hormonal profile, and completed the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), a validated inventory for assessing sexual dysfunction. Thirty men with a score of <26 on the erectile function domain of the IIEF, or who complained of new onset rapid or delayed ejaculation, were treated with sildenafil with no randomization or placebo control. The evaluation was repeated and the IIEF completed again > or =3 months after starting treatment. RESULTS: For men complaining of ED, subjective erectile rigidity, duration of erection, and the percentage of successful penetration attempts significantly improved with sildenafil. The mean (sd) IIEF domain scores for erection and satisfaction, at 18 (4) vs 27 (3), and 12 (2) vs 16 (3) (both P = 0.01), and orgasm, at 4 (1) vs 6 (3) (P = 0.001), respectively, significantly improved after treatment. In patients with ejaculatory dysfunction, the function improved in 64% after sildenafil therapy. CONCLUSIONS: We identified the nature of sexual dysfunction associated with male-factor infertility, and showed the efficacy of sildenafil therapy in men with this condition. 相似文献
