Relationship Between Hair Whitening and Hair Loss Scores with Erectile Dysfunction

The study investigated the relationship between hair whitening or loss and erectile dysfunction (ED), both potentially linked to oxidative stress. It included 50 ED patients and 50 healthy controls, assessing factors like hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle habits. Significant differences were found in diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and various health metrics between the ED group and controls. The ED group also showed significant differences in hair whitening and loss scales. The conclusion suggested that patients with premature hair whitening or loss should be evaluated for ED, as oxidative stress might be a common underlying factor.
