Özet
Introduction: The prevalence of erectile dysfunction increases with advancing age. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are candidates for erectile dysfunction due to hypertension, uremia, depression and endocrine reasons. Erectile dysfunction is also very common in kidney transplant recipients. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of renal transplantation (RT) on erectile function. Materials and Methods: Etiological factors of chronic renal failure, comorbidities, time elapsed after RT, duration of ESRD, and IIEF-15 scores of patients who underwent RT were discussed. International erectile function index (IIEF-15) scores of patients who underwent RT were evaluated before and after transplantation. Patients who had a kidney transplant and were sexually active with a stable partner were included in the study. IIEF-15 scores of the patients before and after RT were scored. It was evaluated in 5 different parameters (erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, sexual satisfaction, general satisfaction). Results: The mean age of the study participants was 48.6. The mean duration of the participants after RT was 5.9 years. The duration of ESRD was determined as 6.48 years. Erectile function, sexual desire, sexual satisfaction and general satisfaction scores increased compared to pre-RT and the p value was found to be insignificant 0.12-0.16-0.58-0.60, respectively, and the orgasmic function significantly improved. Conclusion: Although RT did not significantly contribute to erectile function, it contributed positively to orgasmic function.
