Abstract

Introduction: There is speculation that Erectile Dysfunction (ED) may be a possible manifestation of COVID-19 symptoms. Our research aimed to assess the frequency of ED and explore potential contributing factors including different climates, etc. among male patients with COVID-19 Infection history.Methods: In this study, a sample size of 383 cases were examined from two cities Tabriz and Ahvaz with completely different climates. We had a control group of 148 patients with a negative COVID-19 Infection history and 245 patients with a positive COVID-19 Infection history. The cases were analyzed by utilizing the IIEF-5 questionnaires. Data regarding demographics and the history of COVID-19 Infections was gathered.Results: The study included 383 male patients with ages ranging from 21 to 63. Of these patients, 48.4% were from Tabriz and 51.7% were from Ahvaz. The average erectile function for males with a positive history of COVID-19 Infection in Tabriz was 47.9 whereas for those with a negative history, it was 50.51. In Ahvaz, the average erectile function for males with a positive COVID-19 Infection history was 38/68 while for those with a negative history, it was 57.37.Conclusions: Recent research indicates that a person’s history of COVID-19 Infection has considerable effects on male sexual function; with psychological factors playing a role in this impact; nevertheless, the effect of the cities with different climates was not proved. These findings highlight the potential connection between COVID-19 Infections and sexual health in men, suggesting that various factors contribute to the observed effects
