- Abstract
Objective: To study the epidemiological clinical para-clinical profile of erectile dysfunction in outpatient urology. Material and Methods: It was a prospective longitudinal study from January to August 2012 (8 months) in urology department of University Hospital of Point G. 72 patients were involved, and consulted for erectile dysfunction. These patients underwent clinical and laboratory examinations. Erectile dysfunction was evaluated by the scale of simple matter of self-assessment of erectile dysfunction Massachusetts Male Aging Study (Single question of Self report of Erectile Dysfunction Massachusetts Male Aging Scale). Results: Frequency of erectile dysfunction was estimated at 9.6%, average age was 45 years, 71% of patients were polygamy, and 18% were monogamy. Most patients (82%) resided in Bamako; traders were most represented (34%). The deficit was moderate in 48.61% of patients. The average time of consultation was 2.5 years. Co-morbidity factors were found in 54.16% of patients, the most frequent risk factors were physical inactivity (34.72%). Blood glucose was elevated in 27.78% patients, cholesterol and triglycerides were elevated in 13.15% of patients, testosterone was low in three patients, prolactin was high in six patients. The Doppler ultrasound of the penis revealed a low perfusion of corpus cavernosum in six cases, three cases of Peyronie's disease. Conclusion: At the end of the study the epidemiological clinical and para-clinical profile is identical to that found in other countries. But a more serious study with specific evaluation scores will help to identify this profile.
