BACKGROUND: Hyperestrogenism is believed to be harmful to male sexuality. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of and the impact of hyperestrogenism on sexual functioning in a cohort of men seeking medical attention for new-onset erectile dysfunction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from 547 men seeking first medical help for new-onset erectile dysfunction at a single andrology center were analyzed. Patients were assessed with a thorough medical and sexual history. Comorbidities were scored with the Charlson comorbidity index. All patients completed the International index of erectile function; the International index of erectile function-erectile function domain was categorized according to Cappelleri's criteria. Circulating hormones were measured in every patient. Hyperestrogenism was defined as estradiol levels >42.6 pg/mL (Tan et al., 2015). Descriptive statistics and logistic/linear regression models tested the association between hyperestrogenism and International index of erectile function domains score.
RESULTS: Overall, 96 (17.6%) participants had serum estrogen levels suggestive of hyperestrogenism. Men with hyperestrogenism were older (median [interquartile range]: 46 [35-59] vs. 44 [31-56] years; p < 0.001), had a higher rate of comorbidities (Charlson comorbidity index ≥1: 26.0% vs. 7.4%; p < 0.001), and higher serum total testosterone values (5.4 [5.2-8.0] vs. 4.3 [4.1-5.7] ng/mL; p = 0.01) than those with normal estradiol values. A higher prevalence of severe erectile dysfunction (135 [29.9%] vs. 47 [48.9%] men; p = 0.01) and of hypogonadism (22 [4.8%] vs. 6 [6.3%] men; p = 0.004) were found in men with hyperestrogenism. Serum estradiol levels were positively correlated with total testosterone levels (β = 0.26, p < 0.001) but negatively correlated with International index of erectile function-orgasmic function (β = -0.24, p = 0.002) and International index of erectile function-erectile function scores (β = -0.03, p < 0.001). When International index of erectile function scores was used to stratify erectile dysfunction patients, hyperestrogenism (odds ratio 2.44, p = 0.02) was associated with severe erectile dysfunction.
CONCLUSIONS: One out of five men seeking first medical help for erectile dysfunction showed elevated serum estradiol values suggestive of hyperestrogenism. Hyperestrogenism was associated with health-significant comorbidities, orgasmic function impairment, and erectile dysfunction severity.
