Abstract
Aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of and risk factors for sexual dysfunction (SD) in male veterans with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We collected IBD history, quality of life (QOL), and sexual function surveys. One hundred seventy-one men enrolled, mean age 50 years, 85% had SD, 92% had erectile dysfunction (ED). More severe ED (P = 0.0001), decreased sexual desire (P = 0.004), and decreased satisfaction (P = 0.001) were associated with poorer QOL. Biologic use was associated with increased SD; hypertension with a decrease in sexual desire. SD and ED are highly prevalent and associated with poorer QOL.
