Main Article Content
Abstract
Erectile dysfunction is a sexual dysfunction in men often associated with depressive disorders. This study described the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of 103 patients diagnosed with recurrent depressive disorder based on ICD-10 criteria (1992). These patients received outpatient treatment at the Psychiatric Clinic - Bach Mai Hospital from August 2022 to August 2023. The average age of the patients was 39.5 ± 14.99 years, and about 59.2% were < 40 years old. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction was 57.3%, and 39.0% of the cases was of moderate level, and 64.4% persisted for over a year. Among those with erectile dysfunction, about half (50.7%) "sometimes" have partial or full erections when sexually stimulated in any way; 47.5% were “sometimes” able to have erection firm enough to have sexual relations or penetrate (enter) the partner when attempted sexual intercourse; 42.4% reported experiencing erection satisfactory when attempted sexual intercourse; and 45.8% had difficulty maintain their erection to completion of intercourse at a "slightly difficult" level.
