Brief summary
We have shown that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has associated with erectile dysfunction (ED) in our previous study. The clinical causes of ED, however, are not known. We plan to recruite a new set of NAFLD patients with ED and will advice them to refer to andrology outpatient clinic. Our aim is to simply collect the outcomes of those patients from andrology clinic and investigate the correlation of those outcomes with clinical confounding variables such as age, cigarette smoking, history of hypertension, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, obesity, drugs used.. Therefore the aim of this study is to identify the causes of ED among the patients with ED.
Interventions
Each patient with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease who is diagnosed erectile dysfunction (using the questionnaire IIEF-5 form) will be consultated to urology (andrology) department for further evaluation. The final opinion and diagnosis of the urology department will be collected for the primary outcome of this study. We plan to passively follow each patient for this purpose. and a maximum of 3 months of observation duration wiil be provided for each participant.
