Disorders Of Thyroid Function And Erectile Dysfunction

Original language description

ObjectivesWe evaluate the relationship between erectile dysfunction and disorders of thyroid function. We confirmed that both dysfunctions are related and require treatment.MethodsThis is a retrospective evaluation of a cohort of patients treated for ED. We selected only men who were found to have any thyroid dysfunction (either hypofunction or hyperfunction) at the beginning of treatment. In total, we identified 51 men in this study. We excluded men who had any other comorbidities. Of the remaining 27 men, 9 had clinical hyperthyroidism and 18 had clinical hypothyroidism. Of the 9 men with hyperthyroidism, five had Graves-Basedow disease and four had toxic nodular goiter. After the patients were examined by an endocrinologist and treatment was initiated, we continued to monitor fT4, TSH and testosterone levels. We assessed the status of erectile function according to the IIEF-5 questionnaire.ResultsWe found some form of erectile dysfunction in all men with thyroid dysfunction. All men had IIEF-5 scores less than or equal to 19 before treatment. Two men had an IIEF-5 score of 4, i.e. they suffered from complete erectile dysfunction. The mean IIEF-5 score did not differ between hyper and hypothyroid men (11.56 versus 12.61). We observed an increase in IIEF-5 scores after treatment for thyroid dysfunction, both in men with hypo and hyper thyroid function. Even in 11 men, the IIEF-5 score rose to 21 or more. One year after starting treatment for thyroid dysfunction, we showed no difference between men with hypo and hyper thyroid function.ConclusionsErectile dysfunction is very common in men with thyroid dysfunction. Treatment of this primary cause may affect normal erectile function. We recommend screening for thyroid dysfunction in all men with ED. Treatment of ED with iPDE5 agents need not be delayed and can be initiated prior to the initiation of treatment for thyroid dysfunction.
