Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent sexual problem that affects a growing number of men as they become older, with severe ED affecting 5% of men at age 40 and 15% of men at age 70. The prevalence of ED in young men aged 20 to 40 years ranges from 1.7 percent to 13 percent, according to many studies. Low testosterone is a prevalent cause of ED, but it's not the only one. It's assumed that a normal testosterone level isn't necessary for normal erections, and that adding more testosterone doesn't improve erection function.
The purpose of this research is to find out if young men with ED have hypogonadism. This is a clinic-based retrospective study of young men aged 20 to 40 in South India. A group of 142 males with Premature Ejaculation (PME) and no ED were compared to a group of 269 men with ED, with or without PME, who attended the same clinic. In the PME group, 3% of men had total testosterone levels less than 240 ng/dl, while in the ED group, 17% of men had total testosterone levels less than 240 ng/dl. In the PME group, 22% of men had total testosterone levels less than 360 ng/dl, while in the ED group, 49% of men had total testosterone levels less than 360 ng/dl. PME participants had a mean Total Testosterone (TT) value of 520, while ED participants had a mean TT of 406.ng/dl. All of this is statistically significant. As a result, testosterone insufficiency is not only a common, but also a substantial cause of ED in young men.Author(S) Details
