Abstract

Background: Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and infertility are important health concerns with negative impacts on the quality of life and couple’ s relationship, which is emerging as an early marker for decreased general health. Objectives: This pilot study intended to investigate the prevalenceandrisk factors of Erectile Dysfunction inmenof infertile couples referred to an in vitro fertility center in northern Vietnam. Methods: A total of 138 men of infertile couples were enrolled in this study from January to May 2018. The International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire scale was used to evaluate the severity of ED. Also, several related factors were collected to determine potential risk factors. Results: The prevalence of ED among was 18. 1%, including 13 mild ED (9. 4%), 7 mild to moderate ED (5. 1%), 2 moderate ED (1. 4%), and 1 severe ED (0. 7%). The logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors associated ED were smoking > 5 pack/years (OR = 3. 16, CI = 0. 98-10. 18; P = 0. 05), not graduating from junior high school (OR = 5. 11; CI = 1. 11-23. 8; P = 0. 03) and azoospermia (OR = 7. 55; CI = 2. 18-26. 16; P = 0. 001). We observed relatively high OR in men with smoking < 5 pack/years (OR = 2. 51) and abnormal semen analysis (hypospermia, oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, or teratozoospermia) (OR = 2. 36), but there was no significant difference compared to the reference group. Conclusions: In the present study, the prevalence of ED among men of infertile couples was higher than non-infertile men. Low level of education, smoking for a long period, and azoospermia were the main risk factors of ED in men. Further large-scale studies are needed to extend the results.
