Factores asociados con la aparición de disfunciones sexuales en la población masculina

Abstract

Sexual dysfunctions represent a significant public health issue affecting men. The perception of masculinity often hinders the search for help, which can lead to emotional consequences such as depression. This study investigates genetic, pathological, physical, and psychosocial risk factors associated with these dysfunctions, aiming to identify the determinants influencing the onset of various sexual dysfunctions in the male population. A descriptive bibliographic review in meta-study was conducted using databases such as SciELO, Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, DSpace, and the UCACUE repository. From an initial set of 40 publications, 15 articles (10 quantitative and 5 qualitative) were selected for comprehensive analysis. The results indicate that premature ejaculation is the most prevalent dysfunction (79.61%), followed by erectile dysfunction (22.31%). Key risk factors include age, hypertension, smoking, and emotional and social factors that impact quality of life. It is crucial to address sexual dysfunctions as a significant public health concern. It is recommended to implement educational campaigns targeting various age groups, promote research on the link between sexual dysfunctions and mental health, and encourage the establishment of specialized male sexual health clinics.
