目的:探讨难治性慢性前列腺炎患者的精神因素与勃起功能。方法:选取未经心理治疗的232例难治性和非难治性慢性前列腺炎患者分别进行NIH慢性前列腺炎症状评分、焦虑、抑郁评分和勃起功能评分并进行对比。结果:难治性慢性前列腺炎患者的NIH慢性前列腺炎症状评分与非难治性患者无显著性差异,难治性慢性前列腺炎患者焦虑和抑郁评分分别高于非难治性患者焦虑和抑郁评分(P<0.01),难治性慢性前列腺炎患者勃起功能明显低于非难治性患者(P<0.01);慢性前列腺炎的焦虑抑郁评分与勃起功能评分有显著性负相关性。结论:难治性慢性前列腺炎患者会存在明显的心理症状,并且在某种程度上影响到其勃起功能。

Psychological Factors and Erectile Function in Men with Refractory Chronic Prostatitis

OBJECTIVE: To study the psychological factors and erectile function in patients with refractory chronic prostatitis. METHODS: We obtained and compared the scores on the NIH scales of chronic prostatitis symptoms, anxiety, depression and erectile function among 232 refractory and medical chronic prostatitis patients who had never received any psychotherapy. RESULTS: No significant differences were observed in the scores on chronic prostatitis symptoms between the refractory and the medical chronic prostatitis groups, while the scores on anxiety and depression were significantly higher and that on erectile function significantly lower in the refractory than in the medical group (P < 0.01), with a negative correlation between the scores on the former two items and that on the latter. CONCLUSION: Obvious psychological factors exist in patients with refractory chronic prostatitis, which may affect their erectile function.
