Systematic Review
Urogenital dysfunction in male patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth: a systematic review.
Aging Male : the Official Journal of the International Society for the Study of the Aging Male 2020 December
INTRODUCTION: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is the most common inherited polyneuropathy. Polyneuropathies are likely to affect the urogenital system. Urogenital dysfunction is rarely investigated and may be underestimated in CMT patients.
AIM: The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review of the literature to collect all the available evidence on the presence of urogenital dysfunction and in patients with CMT.
METHODS: Data sources were MEDLINE, Pubmed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. All types of studies describing the presence of lower urinary tract dysfunction, erectile dysfunction (ED), anejaculation, and other sexual disorders in male patients with CMT were included.
RESULTS: Among 131 records identified, five articles were included in the qualitative synthesis. Lower urinary tract dysfunction, neurogenic bladder, ED, and other sexual dysfunctions have been reported in patients with CMT. One case of anejaculation has been described.
CONCLUSION: Urogenital dysfunction occurs in patients with CMT. Therefore, uro-andrologic counseling should be performed in the aging male with CMT. This might positively impact on his quality of life.
