Onikomikoz ve Erektil Disfonksiyon: Ortak Etyoloji Birlikteliğe Neden Olur Mu?

Abstract

Amaç: Erektil Disfonksiyon (ED) ile Onikomikoz (OM) hastalığının birlikte görülme sıklığını saptamaya çalıştık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Nisan 2019 – Nisan 2020 tarihleri arasında Karabük Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Üroloji Polikliniği’ne ED şikâyeti ile başvuran erkek hastalara sosyodemografik form ve IIEF-5 formu doldurtuldu. ED saptanan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm erkekler ED ciddiyetine göre hafif, orta, ciddi olmak üzere üç gruba ayrıldı. Dermatoloji uzmanı (H.A.) erkeklerin ayak tırnaklarından örnek alıp OM mevcudiyetini araştırdı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya kabul edilen 95 hastanın IIEF-5 skorlarına bakılarak 22’sinde (%23.1) hafif, 20’sinde (%21) orta ve 53’ünde (%55.9) ciddi düzeyde ED bulunduğu saptandı. Sigara kullanma öyküsü ciddi ED grubunda daha fazla idi (p <0.001). Toplam 32 (%33.7) hastada OM bulunduğu tespit edildi. Ancak, ED şiddeti ile OM mevcudiyeti arasında bir ilişki saptanmadı (p>0.114). Sonuç: Erektil disfonksiyon ile OM hastalığı sıklıkla bir arada görülebilmektedir. Ancak ED şiddeti ile bir ilişkisi saptanmamıştır.

Onychomycosis and Erectile Dysfunction. Does Common Etiology Cause Togetherness?

Abstract

Background: We tried to determine the frequency of co-occurrence of erectile dysfunction (ED) and Onychomycosis (OM). Material and Method: The sociodemographic form and IIEF-5 form were filled by the male patients who were admitted to the Urology Polyclinic of Karabük University Medical Faculty with the complaints of ED between April 2019 - April 2020. The patients with ED were included in the study. All the male patients were divided into three groups as mild, moderate and severe according to ED severity. The dermatologist (H.A) examined the presence of OM by taking samples from the toenails of the male patients. Results: Looking at the IIEF-5 scores of 95 patients accepted to the study, it was found that 22 (23.1%) had mild, 20 (21%) moderate and 53 (55.9%) severe ED. Smoking history was higher in the severe ED group (p <0.001). It was found that a total of 32 (33.7%) patients had OM. However, there was no relationship between the severity of ED and the presence of OM (p> 0.114). Conclusion: Erectile dysfunction and OM disease can often be seen together. However, no relationship was found with the severity of ED.
