The objective: the evaluation of depressive state in men with peptic ulcer of stomach and duodenum, which have sexual disorders. Patients and methods. The study is based on the generalization of the results of complex examination and treatment of 130 patients with peptic ulcer disease duodenal ulcer in remission and gastric ulcer in remission who have sexual disorders; the first were 76 (58.5±4.3%) patients, the second – 54 (41.5±4.3%); p<0.05. They entered the main group. The comparison group consisted of 100 men with peptic ulcer disease duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer that also in remission who did not complain of sexual disorders; accordingly, they were of 66.0±4.7% and 34.0±3.3%; p<0.05. The creation of this group are motivated by the need to determine the characteristics of changes in the quality of life, psychological status between patients with these somatic diseases, but if not combined with sexual disorders. For this purpose was used the referential group consisted of 20 healthy men, the survey results of which complements the existing normalized values most approximate to this population. All groups were matched for age, and the first two – for the duration of peptic ulcer disease. Results.

Their combination in various embodiments burdened the situation. Exclusively in patients with peptic ulcer disease were most prevalent somatic anxiety (32.0±4.6%), depressive mood (28,0±4,5%), capacity and activity (24.0±4.2%).
