[Erectile function evaluation after adult circumcision].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the erectile function of adults after circumcision.


METHODS
Ninty-five patients were investigated on erectile function by questionnaire before and after circumcision, respectively.


RESULTS
Eighteen patients suffered from mild erectile dysfunction before circumcision, and 28 suffered from mild or moderate erectile dysfunction after circumcision(P = 0.001). Adult circumcision appeared to have resulted in weakened erectile confidence in 33 cases(P = 0.04), difficult insertion in 41 cases(P = 0.03), prolonged intercourse in 31 cases(P = 0.04) and improved satisfaction in 34 cases(P = 0.04).


CONCLUSIONS
Adult circumcision has certain effect on erectile function, to which more importance should be attached.
