Abstract：
PURPOSE:Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by repetitive cessation of breathing during sleep. It affects different aspects of sexuality. We aimed to assess male sexual function & risk factors in obstructive sleep apnea patients. METHODS:This case control study included 2 groups, 45 healthy volunteers as control group and 45 patients with confirmed diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. All the participants were subjected to measurement of Body Mass Index, Full night polysomnography (only for patients group) and serum total testosterone, FSH and LH. The International Index of Erectile Function-5 and Hamilton Depression Scale questionnaires were filed out for all participants. RESULTS:The mean scores for all sexual domains were significantly lower among the patients group compared to the control group (p<0.01). The Hamilton score was significantly higher among the patients group compared to the control group (p<0.0001). The mean levels of Testosterone and LH were significantly lower among the patients group compared to controls (p<0.0001), There were significant correlations between disease severity and age (r=0.48, p=0.001), Body mass index (r=0.48, p=0.001), Hamilton score (r=0.34, p=0.014) International Index of Erectile Function 5 domain score (r= -0.29, p=0.045)Testosterone level (r= -0.29, p=0.046) and LH levels (r= -0.104, p=0.049). CONCLUSION:We found that all domains of sexual function have been affected in patients group than controls. Their score was inversely related to the disease severity; which in turn has a complex interaction with other factors like age, obesity, hormones and psychological status. So when evaluating those patients, sexual dysfunction should be considered and assessed along with these factors.
