Abstract
Sexual dysfunction can have an impact on both the physical and psychological well‐being of men. Male erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PME) are prevalent sexual disorders among the male population. In the Indian cultural context, individuals frequently encounter inhibitions when discussing matters pertaining to their sexual health, resulting in a scarcity of research in this domain. The primary objectives of this study are to investigate and analyse the levels of depression, anxiety, self‐esteem and sexual quality of life among men experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PME). Additionally, this research aims to compare these psychological and sexual health indicators between the two groups. To study the anxiety and depression in men suffering from premature ejaculation. A cross sectional, hospital based, single centred observational study was conducted. The study period was 6 months after approval from Institutional Ethics Committee. About 150 patients were included in this study. In the present study, a majority of the participants exhibited comorbid symptoms of Anxiety and Depression, with 51 individuals accounting for 34.0% of the sample. Importantly, this finding reached statistical significance (p = 0.0164). In the present investigation, the average Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM‐A) score among the participants was determined to be 15.2000 with a standard deviation of 8.4303. Similarly, the mean Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM‐D) score was found to be 13.6700 with a standard deviation of 8.2267. In the present study, a majority of the participants exhibited comorbid symptoms of Anxiety with Depression (34 individuals, accounting for 34.0% of the sample). Additionally, 24% of the patients presented solely with symptoms of anxiety disorder, while 23.0% of the patients displayed symptoms exclusively related to depression. The observed distribution exhibited statistical significance (p = 0.0164).
