Özet
We aimed to evaluate the effect of the abnormal ejaculation (AEj) on patients using silodosin in terms of drug cessation. We also analysed the possible factors that may affect the decisions of patients with AEj to proceed or change their medication. The patients (n = 118) treated with silodosin 8 mg daily were prospectively analysed. In order to evaluate the erectile function, ejaculatory function, depression and sexual satisfaction; IIEF, MSHQ-EjD, Beck's depression and Golombok-Rust questionnaires were given to patients respectively. Patients were re-evaluated at the 3rd month of their treatment. The rate of AEj was 52.5%. Nearly 42% of the patients with AEj desired to stop their medication whereas it was 7.1% at patients without AEj (p < .001). The pre-treatment International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and the decrease in IPSS score were significantly lower in patients who demand to stop their treatment (p < .05). AEj was significantly higher in patients who wanted to stop their medication (p < .001). Even if they had an AEj, patients who were happy with the clinical efficacy of silodosin did not want to change their drug. In addition to this, pre-treatment ejaculatory status was an important indicator for patients to decide drug cessation due to AEj side effect of silodosin.
