ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Men with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may have decreased sexual function due to factors related to the underlying disease, medication, and/or surgery. We aimed to examine the use of erectile dysfunction (ED) medications in men with IBD.METHODS:
This is a nationwide cohort study based on the Danish registries, comprising all men >18 years old with IBD during 1 January 1995 through December 2016. The cohorts included 31,498 men with IBD and 314,980 age-matched men without IBD. Our main outcome was a first prescription of an ED medication. Cox regression analyses were used to estimate the hazard rate (HR) for use of ED medications, controlled for multiple time-varying covariates.RESULTS:
Overall, 21,966 (69.7%) men had ulcerative colitis (UC) while 9532 (30.3%) had Crohn's disease (CD). Men with a first ED prescription numbered 3749 (11.9%) (men with IBD) and 30,635 (9.7%) (men without IBD). Adjusting for central nervous system and intestinal anti-inflammatory medications, systemic corticosteroids and co-morbidities, the HR was 1.19 (95% CI 1.13-1.26) (IBD and no prior IBD operation), and 1.31 (95% CI 1.20-1.43) (IBD and prior IBD operation). The adjusted HR for UC was 1.17 (95% CI 1.10-1.24) (no operation) and 1.43 (95% CI 1.27-1.61) (prior operation), and for CD 1.26 (95% CI 1.15-1.38) (no operation) and 1.20 (95% CI 1.06-1.35) (prior operation).DISCUSSION:
Men with IBD are more likely to fill an ED prescription than men without IBD. This result is significant regardless of a history of IBD surgery.
