Abstract

Introduction: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common pathology in patients over 40 years of age. The use of drugs such as tamsulosin and finasteride considerably reduce obstructive and irritative symptoms, therefore only a small percentage require surgical treatment. Among the side effects of the medical treatment is erectile dysfunction, which can affect the quality of life of those who use it, as well as the functionality of the conjugal subsystem. The main objective is to determine if there is an association between erectile dysfunction and the functionality of the spousal subsystem in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Material and methods: An observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study that was carried out in 143 patients with a diagnosis of BPH receiving treatment with tamsulosin and finasteride, selected through non-probabilistic sampling for consecutive cases. The IIEF-5 questionnaire was used for the degree of erectile dysfunction and the Chávez-Velasco scale for the degree of functionality of the conjugal subsystem. The analysis of the results was carried out using descriptive statistics and for the association of the dependent and independent variables Chi square, with a 95% CI and a statistical significance of ≤ 0.05.

Results: The age range was from 45 to 65 years, with 73% married, and the rest in civil union. 135 had some degree of erectile dysfunction and 73 dysfunction of the spousal subsystem.

Conclusions: There is a positive association between erectile dysfunction and the functionality of the conjugal subsystem (p = 0.027).
