Prevalence Of Sexual Dysfunction In Men With Chronic Prostatitis/chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome In China:a Meta Analysis

Objective: This study aims to understand the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS)in china by using a meta-analysis.Methods: Literature search was conducted to collect studies on the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS)in China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang databases,PubMed and Chinese science & technology journal database.Stata 12.0 software was used to estimate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction,as well as on publication year and sample size to make subgroup analysis.Results: A total of 19 studies,including 11095 males of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS),were eligible for inclusion in the review.The pooled analysis showed that overall prevalence of sexual dysfunction in men with CP/CPPS was 58.0%,[95% CI ? 44.0%~73.0%],while the prevalence of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction was 36.0%,[95% CI ? 26.0% ~45.0%]and 27.0%,[95% CI ?22.0% ~32.0%].Conclusions: The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in men with CP/CPPS was high,therefore,male health issues in CP/CPPS patients are more and more worthy of attention,this finding reveals that adding a sexual domain to the UPOINT typing system may be warranted.Considering the limitations noted above,more prospective studies are needed to evaluate sexual dysfunction improvement with better management and treat of CP/CPPS.
