Abstract
Sexual dysfunctions are common among alcohol use disorder patients. Various psychosocial and neuro endocrinal factors play a role in such dysfunctions. Yet, there is still a dearth in the research and literature in this aspect. Our study aims to assess the prevalance of sexual dysfunctions among alcohol use disorder patients with an objective to evaluate the associated clinical correlates and its association with severity of alcohol dependence. 51 male subjects diagnosed as Alcohol use disoder patients using DSM 5 were assessed for sexual dysfunctions using ASEX questionnaire and its association with severity of alcohol dependence was evaluated. Our results showed sexual dysfucntion was present in 68.6% with decrease in desire being the most common domain affected. There was a significant association between SADQ and decrease in desire, erection and orgasm. There was signigicant association of sexual dysfunction with duration of alcohol consumption. This study highlights the need to assess sexual function regularly in Alcohol use disorder patients in addition to other physical evaluation.
