Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether stopping smoking can improve erectile dysfunction (ED) in smokers, as cigarette smoking is a known risk factor for ED. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Smokers who requested nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and complained of ED were first evaluated for hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, psychiatric disorders and drug history. The grade of ED in smokers with none of these risk factors was then determined using the five‐item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF‐5) before NRT, and the grading repeated after 1 year of follow‐up. The correlation between the exposure to smoking (pack‐years) and severity of ED was assessed before the follow‐up. The ED status between patients who stopped smoking after NRT and those who continued during the follow‐up was then compared before and after the follow‐up. RESULTS: The severity of ED correlated significantly with the level of exposure to smoking. Age and ED status before the follow‐up were not significantly different between 118 patients who stopped (ex‐smokers) and 163 who continued smoking (current smokers). After 1 year the ED status improved in ≥ 25% of ex‐smokers but in none of the current smokers; 2.5% of ex‐smokers and 6.8% of current smokers had a deterioration in ED. Ex‐smokers had a significantly better ED status after the follow‐up ( P = 0.009). Among ex‐smokers, patients with advanced ED and those who were older had less improvement. CONCLUSION: There is a strong association between the intensity of cigarette smoking and degree of ED. Stopping cigarette smoking can improve ED in a considerable proportion of smokers. Age and the severity of ED before stopping are inversely related to the chance of improvement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
