Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this research is to investigate the effect on COPD on the sexual life in comparison to the healthy individuals with regard to the associated and precipitating agents in COPD patients' impotency.Materials & Method: This was a case - control study. The samples were patients who were referred to the Mostafa Khomeini hospital. 30 COPD patients and 30 healthy individuals of the same age - group were selected to be interviewed and to answer the questionnaires. Different factors were taken into consideration such as age, marital status, smoking habit (15-20 CIGARETTEs perday for 25-30 years), underlying diseases, premature ejaculation, reduction of potency, average intercourse times. Erectile dysfunction was also assessed through Shim standard test. ABG, PFT, Pearson's Chi-square and Fisher's exact test were performed. Results: The average age of the case group was 66.56 year, while the average age of the control group was 62.56 year. The mean of intercourse times for the case group was 2-26 times per month; where as, the mean of intercourse times for the control group was 3.83. P values in COPD patients were as follows: CIGARETTE smoking (p=0.00), intercourse times per month (p=0.022), Erectile dysfunction (p=0.001), Premature ejaculation (p=0.028) and reduction of sexual potency (p=0.01).There is a significant difference among smoking, age and intercourse times (p=0.005). Moreover, A significant difference was found between smoking and erectile dysfunction (p=0.005), also between P02 and sexual activity (p=0.02). In addition, there was a significant difference between PFT and erectile dysfunction (p=0.019).Conclusion: COPD had adversely affected the sexual potency, erectile function and sexual life. Furthermore, smoking and chronic HYPOXIA can cause impotency in COPD patients.
