Abstract
Objective To determine the frequency of prostatic
symptomatology, premature ejaculation (PE), erectile
function, symptoms in the older adult/andropause
assessment and to determine the risk factors involved.
Materials and methods The study was conducted by
the Mexican Society of Urology and was carried out
from June to October 2006. Epidemiological information
was obtained through the completion of four
validated questionnaires by patients receiving noninstitutional
urology treatment. The large database was
statistically analyzed using a logistic regression model.
Results A total of 1,779 men with an average age of
56.6 years were included in the study. The average
prostate-specific antigen value in the sample was 1.73
(n = 1,316). Prostatic symptomatology in accordance
with the international prostate symptom score
was 7.96 points. A total of 41.9% of participants
reported experiencing PE. The average time to reach
ejaculation was 10.97 min. Of the participating
individuals, 39.5% were diagnosed with andropause.
Prostatic symptomatology was associated with risk
factors of age and prostatitis, P\0.01. Premature
ejaculation and erectile dysfunction were associated
with age, P\0.01. Vasomotor problems in the older
adult were identified with an association tendency
towards alcoholism and excess weight, P\0.063,
but without statistical significance. Sexual problems
in the older adult were associated with diabetes
mellitus, P\0.01. Andropause was associated with
traumatic problems in general.
