Abstract

Background: Alcohol consumption steadily increases globally. It affects sexual function and this study aims to study the proportion of alcohol dependent men with erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation and tried to find out the correlation of alcohol consumption with serum testosterone and sexual dysfunction. Material and Methods: Cross sectional hospital based study done in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Eighty alcohol dependent men fulfilling the eligibility criteria were recruited from the deaddiction clinic. They were administered with Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUIDT), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) tools and their blood testosterone levels were checked. Data were entered in EpiInfo software and analysed using SPSS version 24. Proportion and Pearson correlation were calculated. Results: Most of them (67.5%) were in the age group of 35–45 years and almost 80% of them were from rural area. Almost 90% of them had erectile dysfunction and 67% had premature ejaculation. AUDIT score was negatively correlated with serum testosterone level and IIEF score and positively correlated with PEDT score. Conclusions: Alcohol deaddictioncentre should routinely screen for the sexual dysfunction among the clients and should be equipped with treatment services for commonest sexual dysfunction along with deaddiction services.
