Psychosexual dysfunction in Indian male patients: revisited after seven years.
Short-term (1 year) outcome of 66 male patients with psychosexual dysfunction was studied in the context of patients' sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. A combination of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation was the most common diagnosis. Long-term (7 years) outcome of this cohort was evaluated in relation to short-term outcome. Improvement in the short-term indicated favorable long-term outcome. Initial dropout was associated with chronic and continuous sexual dysfunctioning.
