Abstract

I read with great interest the present article by Talib et al. Such analyses are invaluable to the study the effects of long term fasting on sexual function outcomes in Muslim countries. However, 45 subjects may be inadequate to provide conclusive answers to questions raised by the authors. The authors have addressed an important issue. To date, no randomized prospective clinical trials (RCT) have been carried out comparing the two groups (fasted versus non-fasted) and so to draw final conclusion, we should wait for RCTs in this regard. As there is no long-term data comparing functional outcomes after fasting in the month of Ramadan, present study has attempted to provide some data about this topic in terms of EF, sexual desire, and sex hormones. Although the primary feasibility endpoint of this study was set as IIEF-5/IIEF-EF domain, the presentation of the results performed less clear. In the results section, only total IIEF-5 score has been mentioned. Moreover, only the changes in total IIEF-5 score were shown (before vs. after), but not for each IIEF-5 studied questions. The usual practice of presenting the results of EF is to provide the percentage changes in pre-and post-fasting IIEF-EF domain scores. (1-4) Unfortunately, this essential information was not reported in the article. The only information that we could obtain was the pre-and post-fasting total IIEF-5 score. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate if the authors could provide further clarification of the results (pre-and post-fasting score for each IIEF-5 questions). This would help readers to better assess the potential role of fasting on EF...
