Erectile Dysfunction and Long Term Sexual Satisfaction Following Penile Fracture
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Penile Fracture (PF) is a rare urologic emergency which has been debated for years, be it regarding management of the condition or complications therein or post operative sexual satisfaction. Our aim in this study is to objectively assess the effect of surgical intervention of PF in relation to the presence or absence of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and sexual satisfaction after surgical repair. Methods: The six patients (n=6) with PF treated over two years, constituted the study. The patients were studied for the presence or absence of ED in the follow up period. Results: There was no definite presence of ED in the average follow up period of 15.17±6.4 months (m) for the patients with PF. The mean IIEF score for our study group was 20.83±4.54. Conclusion: Surgical correction as a treatment choice for delayed presenters of PF is not definitely associated with complications. ED may be associated with delayed surgical correction of PF, but the domain of ED being very vast, other causes should be looked into before attributing it to the fracture. Sexual satisfaction is a subjective experience which cannot be judged on the basis of ED alone.
