Abstract

Objective: To describe the characteristics of sexual dysfunction in male patients with somatization disorder at the National Institute of Mental Health. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 81 male patients diagnosed with somatization disorder, including inpatients and outpatients at the National Institute of Mental Health, Bach Mai Hospital, from July 2024 to the end of April 2025. Results: The average age of the patient group was 45.79 ± 13.38 years, with a mean age of sexual initiation at 22.61 ± 3.72 years. Among patients, 69.14% reported reduced sexual desire, 39% experienced difficulty in maintaining an erection, 46.8% reported a shorter-than-usual ejaculation latency time, and 19.5% were unable to achieve orgasm. The proportion of patients dissatisfied with their sexual activity was 33.77%. Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent among male patients with somatization disorder, presenting as reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, difficulty in ejaculation control, and inability to achieve orgasm. These sensitive issues significantly impact treatment outcomes, emphasizing the need of greater focus on sexual health into the management of somatization disorder.
